    MLB Radio had a bunch of their hosts all on at once today. The topic of Manny Machado came up and Bowden had some interesting info on him. There has been heavy speculation that the Yankees are planning to make a run at Machado, but he and others are hearing that is just not the case. The AL East has had an up close view of him the last couple of years and word is that the Yanks aren't really dying to throw $300M his way since they also have some really good young MIF guys already and another $300M contract on the roster. He said that teams do not view Manny as the best player on a contender and it is going to be hard to find someone that is willing to give him the contract he thinks he deserves. Talking with his contacts around the league the feeling is that due to what the Dodgers gave up, how he has played and the type of players they have on the roster, the two will work things out and he is going to remain with the club. This is not him guessing that the Dodgers plan to throw money at him, he is hearing the club does indeed want to retain Manny. We shall see as that would open up a bit of a can of worms, but Turner, Manny and a healthy Seager sure would be a nice middle of an order.
