The Yankees, clearly in need of outside help in order to add more stars to their payroll, can thank one fan for helping them raise (so far) $87 toward a $300 million goal to help them sign free agent Manny Machado.
Joshua Anderson started the GoFundMe page on Jan. 9 with the hope that the Yanks -- who are not the favorites to snag Machado -- will get him.
"Help Hal Steinbrenner sign Manny Machado," the page reads up top, followed by this blurb:
Manny Machado is available and wishes to sign a contract with the New York Yankees. But unfortunately, money is tight for Hal. Let's give the guy a hand and bring Manny to the Bronx!
"I want pitchers to lose sleep over our absolutely loaded line up. Give me Manny! give my Bryce!" wrote one commenter on the page.
Unfortunately for the Yankees fans who want Manny (and Bryce), it doesn't seem like they're landing either -- let alone both.
