Look over there: A gorgeous mansion for sale.
The price is sky-high, though, and a layman’s inspection reveals major concerns about the foundation. The house could bring unprecedented joy … or it could turn into a life-draining albatross.
But what if the homeowners are so hell-bent on giving the house to you — you possess a pristine reputation, after all — that they’re willing to slash the price virtually in half?
Then you’d have to seriously consider signing Manny Machado, wouldn’t you?
Sorry, maybe that analogy could have used a more visible bridge. In any case, if the Yankees can convince the pinstripe-loving Machado to join them at a bargain rate — for under $200 million, to be precise — then the 26-year-old would be worth the risk that his Johnny Hustle act won’t play in The Bronx.
