If only Manny Machado would've run harder down the first base line and avoided clipping Jesus Aguilar's ankle during the postseason, he might not be in this situation.

According to George A. King III of the New York Post, there is "industry speculation the Phillies are also leery of a 10-year deal for $300 million for Machado," which would likely take their status as the highest bidder off the board, making their offer much more in accordance with market value.
