Spring Training is in full swing and three days from now the Yankees open their Grapefruit League season. The first four spring games will be televised. Hooray for that. Here are some thoughts.
1. I don’t have much to say about Manny Machado signing with the Padres. His (and Bryce Harper’s) free agency has been exhausting. There’s not much to say other than the Yankees should’ve signed Machado. He is a 26-year-old established star who fills a position of need and whose peak aligns perfectly with the Yankees’ championship window. The Yankees should always be in on players like that.
