Manny Machado free agency: 4 teams able to manage his personality

Manny Machado did not shed as much ink as Bryce Harper on his independent agency … for now. Right now, the environment seems to be that Harper's decision will get attention first (as more teams appear to be on him too) and that Machado's decision will then come into place with all the rumors that go with it.

But we still have rumors to watch! The athletics Ken Rosenthal, quoting colleague Jayson Stark, said teams such as the Yankees were taking an extremely hard look at Machado after his playoff frenzies made headlines. This involves asking questions about one's personality and taking a little longer before committing to him as an option. What other teams could do the same and which of them make the decision to go forward?

I would be very happy for him to continue having fun in the playoffs with all the teams he would land on, because it was entertaining and every team that needs a short stopping distance (or may be a third base player) should take it to Manny with all the enthusiasm they can muster. But each fanbase, clubhouse and front office is different, so that not all markets are perfectly suited to its own fame. But just to be clear, it's a wonderful celebrity.

Yankees

Just weeks after trying to convince everyone not to want Harper or Machado, the Yankess are now doing their due diligence to see how much they want him. But would it be an adjustment in New York? Oh damn, yes.

Let's leave aside for a moment the fact that the Yankees already have a short stopover at Didi Gregorius, who would supposedly come back from Tommy John's operation after the stars break. The Yankees are an organization powerful enough to convince Machado to return to third place after Didi's recovery, which should return to health if it brought him a few hundred million dollars and played a crucial role.

His actual competitive behavior, if that's what we're going to say, would be incredible in New York. I'm shaking with anticipation just thinking about the To post or Daily News previous pages if he does something incredible or terrible The fans were eating his heel behavior (see: Aaron Judge dragging the Red Sox in series) … with a warning. He must be good. We saw him a bit when he was at the Dodgers' house, but if he did not produce on the plate like a 26-year-old superstar, he would have to tire a bit more. It's something that New York fans are jumping everywhere as soon as they see blood in the water. But otherwise, it would be great.

cubs

Right now, Cubs have a problem. They have a group of young stars who are about to get paid, and they have morons. But they do not have young stars who can be fun assholes. Before we go any further, let's make sure that Chicago has room for Machado.

Yes, they have 100% of the place for Machado. That would make sense to them from the point of view of talents, but his specific brand of trash talk punkery (that 's not a word, but I claim it' s a word) would also balance the l '. act of brotherly love of Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant. . This is not a problem, but the dichotomy between these two cheerful guys and Machado, I'm smiling-but-I-will-too-myself-in a moment-would be at least interesting.

White Sox

Surprise, the White Sox are also located in Chicago. The same presentiment that Chicago would love its absurdity applies here. With a few exceptions (hello, Yoan Moncada), what they do not have is a great personality who can not only draw the crowds if they have a good 2019, but also make them entertaining at scale national. They have the money, since apparently they are also picking on Harper and they need it.

So, yes, it would work for Machado as well. It may work even better than the Cubs, because the South Side team needs a much bigger boost than its rivals in the crosstown.

Phillies

This one might not be a perfect fit, I'll admit it. But the Phillies are already on him, so let's take a look and … oh my god, Gabe Kapler, trying to handle Manny Machado would be the funniest thing ever seen and that could actually lead to the dissolution of the 'organization. There are so many ways that it goes wrong and I want to see them all play at the same time and have the overload of my body as if I had just taken the pill Unlimited.

Could you imagine their personalities together? Try to agree on nutritional advice or training strategies. Kapler must respond to Machado's lack of dynamism in the September match against the Braves. It would be beautiful

In addition, the city of Philadelphia would focus on dubious liquor on Machado, such as Eagles fans, and the rest of eastern NL. would be up to the task of booing him.
