Scott Allen from The Washington Post caught up with Manny’s trainer, Lynda Hylton, who lives in the same town where Machado played A ball.
“The name is just one of those that flows so easily,” Hylton told the Post. “And Manny Machado, he’s such a great guy. You don’t ever name a dog after a guy who’s a butt-head. Without asking Mr. Machado if it would bother him if he would mind having a dog named after him, we just did it. He’s just a super dog.”
Yeah, but can he win a Gold Glove?
