CBS sports | Matt Snyder: Snyder opines that “everything is just perfectly aligning for Manny Machado to become the face of the Padres.” He goes on to articulate five main points to support his premise. Here’s my take: Wouldn’t it be shameful if the Yankees allow the Padres to outbid them for Machado?
