Yankees Rumors: Manny Machado Prefers NYY over Phillies, White Sox
"Machado has told friends in Miami that his preference is the Yankees, and if the offers are close, he'll be headed to the Bronx."And if the bidding comes down to the Phillies vs. the White Sox, Bowden believes the Phillies have the advantage "because they are already contenders and their current team President, Andy MacPhail, has an established relationship with Machado, having previously worked with him in Baltimore."

Yankees offer only for 7 years 210 mil
Philly supposedly will offer 10 years 310 mil
Huge mistake IMO. Let him go to NY.Comment -
In a full column, Nightengale cites four sources in reporting that Chicago has indeed issued an offer to Machado. However, while there’s no specific dollar amount revealed, he suggests that it’s “likely closer to $200 million than $300 million” in total value.Comment -
Who the hell would want to play for the Phillies? Gabe Kepler has not had a potato chip since the early 90's. I'm all for eating right but that is just ridiculous. If I were a skipper i would def fukk with some ballpark nachos in the 8th or 9th if my team was up huge.Comment -

not machadoComment -
Can you imagine if the Yankees get him but it doesn’t mean they’re going to get to the World Series because pitching wins not hittingComment -
Free-agent infielder Manny Machado completed his three-team tour before the new year, meeting with the New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago White Sox. And it was just last month when the White Sox's acquisition of first baseman Yonder Alonso -- Machado's brother-in-law -- had us wondering whether or not the family connection gave the White Sox an advantage in the Machado sweepstakes. Now, we're wondering if Machado's wife's preference has a bigger influence. According to Wallace Matthews of the New York Daily News, Machado's wife, Yainee, is reportedly interested in living in the Big Apple.Comment -
I would love to see Machado on the Yankees. Mr no hustle will bring them down. More World Series for Boston.Comment -
Do not want this cancer
Let him go to PhillyComment -
The White Sox and free agent outfielder Jon Jay are engaged “in serious discussions” about a contract, per Ken Rosenthal and Robert Murray of The Athletic (Twitter link). Potential terms are not yet known.
As Rosenthal notes, the potential addition of Jay represents another eyebrow-raising move from the Chicago organization. Jay and the recently acquired Yonder Alonso train in the offseason with superstar free agent Manny Machado, who is a prime target of the White Sox.Comment -
The Phillies, White Sox and Yankees are the three known teams to be in the Manny Machado sweepstakes, and Philadelphia and Chicago have the most salary flexibility to offer the superstar infielder a mega-contract. But neither team appears to be going as big as the Machado camp would like.
According to Jon Heyman of Fancred Sports, neither the Phillies nor White Sox are believed to be close to the $300 million-plus offer that Machado is hoping for this winter. Heyman also reports that the Yankees remain Machado's preferred destination but have yet to make a formal offer.Comment -
Machado is only worth 300 million if he plays shortstop and Yankees have Grigorious, Dodgers have Seager, I think its more likely he goes to the Phillies or White Sox, they will offer the most money and years by far.Comment -
He loves the villain role
it is in his bloodComment
