It would be amazing if the Mets signed Machado.

Machado would suddenly be everyone's favorite.

Like everyone suddenly forgot that Cano doesn't hustle. Or that Cano was suspended for steroid use:

"And you know who is on record as thinking that the Yankees and the new No. 13 might be a really good fit? The old No. 13, Alex Rodriguez himself, who said this to the New York Post not long ago:

'I haven't had a chance to talk to Hal [Steinbrenner] or [Brian] Cashman, but I know ownership is as hungry as ever to put a great product and winner on the field. And he's a great player.'
So was Rodriguez. Back in '04, the Yankees were going to add a star like him to their infield and they were going to win a lot of World Series and play in even more. They played in one."
They both wore number 13.

So ... I've got nothing.


Lupica presents all this as a warning. 

As if ARod didn't work out for the Yankees.

It would be a dream come true if Machado signed with the Yankees, sold out the Stadium, won two MVPs, doubled the value of the franchise, hit 350 HRs, and maybe even gave the Daily News sports staff something to write about.
