Machado has no control of the present, without any no-trade provisions in his contract, but can control where he works in the future, where he’s expected to be employed for the next 10 years of his life. The Yankees. Machado grew up in Miami idolizing the Yankees. Machado’s idol, Alex Rodriguez, spent 10 years and won a World Series with the Yankees. And Machado, who would like to be on center stage in a big market, happens to love New York City. Machado wants to be a Yankee, and, oh, how the feeling is mutual.
