MLB rumors: 9 Yankees-Manny Machado things to know before pursuit

It's going to happen.

The New York Yankees will pursue star shortstop Manny Machado in the offseason. We're not quite there yet, but prime yourself with this, before general manager Brian Cashman's hunt get underway.

In the same report, Heyman says that though Machado has said he wants to remain at shortstop, he’d “easily give up the position” to sign with the Yankees. He might not have to right away. With Didi Gregorius expected to miss at least half the season due to Tommy John surgery, Machado could fulfill what would sound like a very plausible dream of being a Yankees shortstop — for a while, anyway.
