Yankees Free Agency Rumors: Manny Machado Meets With Brian Cashman, Aaron Boone
The Yankees have been busy this offseason. Earlier this month, New York re-signed left-hander J.A. Happ, retaining one of the most coveted arms on the free-agent market.
But the Yankees don't appear to be done making moves just yet. Below are the latest rumors involving the Bronx Bombers:
