YANKS ARE SATISFIED WITH TULOWITZKI

I hate the Manny Machado rumors.  In fact I was actually accused of pushing the Machado Tweet fest.  If you are a BYB Reader you know that's not true. We only report important nuggets surrounding this lazy ballplayer.  I take pride in that.  Cranky Tweeters who like to suggest we do the opposite are just ill informed and ignorant... BECAUSE THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T READ US.

Seriously

I think we’ve been pretty responsible with our coverage. We only report on the nuggets that appear legit. We aren’t looking for clicks. That’s pretty unfair.

We don't look for clicks, we look for news. And if there isn't any... we don't bring you the continuing Manny Saga... because it's boring AF.

Andy Martino of SNY has this. And for the record... Martino does what we do:

"Hungry for another Manny Machado update? Not really? Well, too bad -- we have one. As Yankees players trickle into spring training, the front office continues to check in with Machado's camp, according to major league sources. The Yankees are not the frontrunners for Machado -- both the White Sox and Phillies have been more aggressive -- but they are not out on him, either...

Cashman remains on the periphery, just in case Machado changes his mind about chasing the most money, or his negotiations with another team fall through. The Yankees would be comfortable moving Miguel Andujar to first base if they sign Machado to play third. According to sources, Machado is not under consideration to play shortstop for the Yanks; that job will belong to Troy Tulowitzki, if he remains healthy."

Sometimes there is actually an update. I mean, geez, am I allowed to report that? That's interesting. Although, truth be told, my 16 year is convinced that the Yankees will eventually move Gleyber Torres to short because while the Yankees know what Troy can offer, they just aren't really sure he can offer it consistency anymore.

My kid's normally right about stuff like this...
