When asked why he wouldn’t want Machado, a four-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winner who played every game last year between the Baltimore Orioles and Los Angeles Dodgers, the youngster told the SNY cameraman he didn’t want anyone from the AL East to be on the Yankees. The Orioles are in the AL East.
“It’s kinda like taking Tom Brady from the Patriots and adding him to the Dolphins, it just doesn’t happen,” the kid said.
