Despite missing all of last season due to ankle and foot injuries, Troy Tulowitzki is one confident man. Perhaps some of that has to do with Yankees general manager, Brian Cashman, stating that if the season started today, Tulo would be the club’s starting shortstop.
However, we’re still a little more than a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Tampa, and the possibility of Manny Machado signing with the Yanks does remain (we think).
Despite both Ken Davidoff of the New York Post and Bob Nightengale of USA Today, stating that the Bombers have yet to extend Machado a contract offer, Tulowitzki, the five-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glove winner and two-time Silver Slugger, recently welcomed the opportunity to suit up alongside Machado.
