Yankees, Orioles Not Close On Deal For Manny Machado
6 years agoBaltimore Orioles star third baseman Manny Machado has been the subject of many a rumor as we get closer to the trade deadline, with the most recent being one linking him to the New York Yankees. It was previously reported that the Yankees had made a substantial offer to the Orioles for Machado. Now, according to MLB Insider Jon Heyman, the two teams do not appear to be close on a deal. While the details of the Yankees' offer have not been made public, the team is said to not have offered either Justus Sheffield or Clint Frazier. Sheffield, in particular, has been linked to the Orioles as one of their main targets, but the Yankees have been loathe to part with their prized arm. If a deal is done before the trade deadline, the Yankees lineup will become even more feared than it already was, and Machado's fantasy owners will undoubtedly be happy with the move. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the end of July.
