The Phillies rumor mill has been extremely quiet since the winter meetings, but according to NBCS Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury, things could be heating up soon.
According to Salisbury, Machado will visit the Phillies on Thursday as part of his free agency tour.
Other reports say that Machado will be in New York visiting the Yankees on Wednesday, thus making the commute to Philadelphia rather short. He’ll also visit with the Chicago White Sox, who recently acquired his brother-in-law Yonder Alonso.
Machado would be the second star free agent to visit Philadelphia this offseason, and hopefully, his visit turns a better result than the first.
