While it’s anyone’s guess right now as to where Machado will sign one thing we do know is that it will either be with the Yankees, Phillies or White Sox. No other teams have been reported to be in the mix even though Machado is arguably the best player still available on the free agent market.
Multiple reports have said Machado prefers to play for the Yankees but as is the case with most free agents, he’s probably going to sign with the team who offers him the most money. Based on how the Yankees front office has been hesitant to go over the luxury tax threshold in recent years they’re probably not going to be the team who offers Manny the biggest contract.
