Phillies Still Interested In Manny Machado
6 years agoDespite all of free-agent shortstop Manny Machado's shenanigans during the postseason with the Dodgers, the Philadelphia Phillies remain interested in signing him this winter. "If you're trying to find the young free agent who's good at everything and a prince in the clubhouse, you're going to be looking for a long time," general manager Matt Klentak said at the GM Meetings, being careful not to speak specifically about Machado. "You're not always going to find somebody who checks off every box." While Machado's attitude may not be the best, he's still just 26 years old and is one of the best young shortstops in the game both on offense and defense. Machado could command a deal well over $300 million this offseason.
