MLB Trade Rumors: Yankees interested in Manny Machado

By -
According to Buster Olney of ESPN, the Yankees are interested in Orioles star third baseman Manny Machado. The Yankees are one of multiple teams interested in the infielder, and Cashman has the ammunition to make a move if he pleases. However, it would be interesting to see a star like Machado traded to a division rival, but stranger things have happened.

Machado is considered one of the best if not the best third baseman in baseball, but his real love is at shortstop and has requested to move there if traded. The 25-year-old has dealt with injuries over the years, recently coming off one of his worst seasons as a pro, but at his best, he is a Gold Glove favorite at shortstop or third base with 40 home run power. 

If the Yankees can’t strike a deal with the Baltimore for Machado, he is a free agent after the season, and if one of the Baby Bombers cannot fill the third base hole, he could very likely come to the Bronx with a huge contract. An interesting note, if Manny does move back to shortstop, it could increase his value in the free agent market come 2019. The White Sox are also one of the teams interested in Machado, and Baltimore is looking for two controllable pitchers in a trade. We will have to see if the Yankees make another titanic move early on in the winter meetings.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
