NJ.com | Mike Rosenstein: The Padres have been spending fast and loose with their cash this offseason, continuing their ascent into the upper levels of the baseball world (Yu Darvish was the latest benefactor). One player who they haven’t locked down, however, is their third baseman, Manny Machado. The six-time All-Star can opt out of his deal with San Diego after this season, and while the Padres also want to extend him, expect both New York teams to make a run at Machado if he tests the market. If that happens, it would be a second chance for the Yankees in particular after a lengthy free agency process following the 2018 season ended up going nowhere.
