Padres Interested In Face-To-Face Meeting With Manny Machado
6 years agoThe San Diego Padres are showing interest in setting up a meeting with free-agent shortstop Manny Machado, possibly in Miami, according to sources. Now that Machado's price has come down drastically from the 10 years and $300 million he was initially requesting, the Padres have entered the mix along with the White Sox, Phillies and Yankees. They would be interested in him playing the hot corner in 2019 and beyond. Machado hit nearly .300 with 37 homers, 107 RBI and 14 steals with the Orioles and Dodgers last season and is a top-10 overall fantasy selection, although moving to San Diego wouldn't be as appealing for his fantasy upside.
