The Baltimore Orioles slugger has requested that he wants to be the team’s shortstop. And, this is not the first time he has made the request.
Unfortunately for Machado, in the previous seasons, the shortstop position belonged to J.J. Hardy and his handful of Gold Gloves. But, now that Hardy is no longer in Birdland, it is time that Machado stakes his claim on the coveted spot.
Lock him in at shortstop
The Orioles should let the All-Star and Platinum Glove winner have the spot. And, the team should use the position to their advantage.
