Warning to all Yankees fans: this is an actual report.
Manny Machado was a member of the Orioles his entire baseball career, before being traded as a two-month rental to the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 18 in a blockbuster move that sent five Dodgers prospects the other way.
Friends of the recently turned 26-year-old Manny Machado suggest that the all-star wants to sign with the Yankees in the offseason, reports Jon Heyman of Fancredsports.com.
He would switch from shortstop to third base to play for the Yankees. Multiple people also close to Machado and his family — who live in Miami — are all in on their love of the Yankees and New York, which fits his big-city preference and desire to get back to the East Coast.
