NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Yankees don’t seem to share the popular belief that the rival Orioles would never trade slugger Manny Machado within the division, let alone to the Bronx.
According to WFAN baseball insider and FanRag Sports’ Jon Heyman, the Bombers contacted the O’s again this week in the hopes of acquiring the star third baseman and adding him to their devastating lineup.
Though the Orioles have not received any offers yet that satisfy their demands, Heyman reported there are several reasons why the Bombers haven’t moved on.
