Machado knows how to handle pressure on the field, but this is a different game. Teams like the Yankees, the Dodgers and maybe even his hometown Marlins, perhaps with Derek Jeter in charge, could be in the hunt for his immense talents.
Machado, who wears No. 13, is close friends with Alex Rodriguez.

“I’m sure now when we go to New York, it’s going to be crazy,’’ the Orioles superstar told The Post of the free-agent rumors. “I know there is talk about the future and maybe me, Gary [Sanchez] and [Bryce] Harper being together. That’s New York. That’s what goes on. … You never know what to expect in this game.
“Those are things you can’t control,’’ he said. “You can’t control what people are going to say, but I can go out there and do what I can to get to that situation and put myself in a good situation for my family to do big things.’’

“It’s tough,’’ Machado admitted. “I haven’t even thought that far ahead. It’s a tough decision. There are so many different variables — family, where you live, moving, all that is hard. I’ve been here for six years, my wife is comfortable here, I feel comfortable here, it’s kind of hard to leave. It’s like Miami. I live in Miami in the offseason. That’s where I lived my entire life.

“Alex loves New York,’’ Machado said. “He loves it. He’s back into the game. I always knew he wanted to be part of the game, that’s just him. He loves baseball. He loves being on the field. He loves putting on cleats and going out there. He is going to try to do everything possible to stay around the game.’’
