BALTIMORE — The Yankees were linked to Manny Machado last offseason, but talks between the teams didn’t get very far. With the trade deadline fast approaching, the Yankees are again checking in to see what it would take to land the perennial All-Star. Here’s what acquiring the 26-year-old would mean for the Yankees.
Q: Machado said again Monday night he has no intention of leaving shortstop and going back to third base, so what does that mean for Didi Gregorius?
A: Probably not much for now. If the Yankees were to acquire Machado, they would try to convince him to play third base for the rest of the season.
