Yankees Rumors Roundup: Manny Machado Latest, Ellsbury Wants To Stay With New York & More

The New York Yankees already landed the biggest prize of the offseason on Saturday in Giancarlo Stanton, who they acquired in a trade with the Miami Marlins. But that's far from the only move the Yankees will make this offseason, and New York made another trade on Tuesday by shipping Chase Headley to the San Diego Padres. With the Winter Meetings here, more moves will be on the way. Here are all the latest Yankees news & rumors you need to know:

Latest on Manny Machado
The Baltimore Orioles have expressed a willingness to trade star third baseman Manny Machado with his pending free agency after the upcoming season, and the Yankees are one of three teams that have shown serious interest in him, according to ESPN's Buster Olney and USA Today's Bob Nightengale.

Machado batted .259 with 33 homers and 95 RBIs in 156 games this past season.

Jacoby Ellsbury wants to stay with Yankees
New York has been looking into trading Jacoby Ellsbury this offseason, but he wants to stay with the team in 2018, according to his agent Scott Boras.

“Right now [Ellsbury’s] pretty excited. Talked to him yesterday. He feels he’s going to be a major part of what they’re doing,” Boras said. “I think there’s going to be a competition in New York. They have a lot of diamonds in their jewelry store, no question about it. It’s going to be a very healthy environment and Jacoby has done a lot of big things in a lot of big situations in a lot of big cities, so competition does not in any way do anything but exhilarate him.”

The Ellsbury hit .264 with seven home runs and 39 RBIs in 112 games this season.
