Dellin Betances has played with and against Manny Machado enough to believe the free-agent infielder would fit in well with the Yankees and help them move past the Red Sox in the AL East.
“I have kept up a little bit,’’ Betances said Tuesday of the Machado Saga throughout the postseason and the early days of free agency. “I am hoping we can get him here. He will be a big add for our team. We don’t know how long Didi [Gregorius] will be out for.’’
Betances was at the Polo Grounds Community Center in Harlem to help distribute 600 Thanksgiving turkeys in an event sponsored by The Rosemark Group and aided by Whole Foods which donated the turkeys.
