NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Do the Yankees want Manny Machado or not?
That’s the question many were asking Thursday after a report surfaced the night before saying the Bombers may not be as enthusiastic about signing the superstar slugger as they were a few weeks ago. Several reporters attempted to clarify the situation, saying the Yankees are not out of the running for Machado, but don’t appear inclined to engage in a bidding war for his services.
A tweet from Hector Gomez of ZDeportes stated the race for Machado is down to two teams, the Chicago White Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies.
