He does some dumb shit, but he isn't a cancer in the clubhouse like some people are saying, almost all of his former teammates on the Orioles and Dodgers loved him. His contract may "weigh them down" in the future, but for the present, it makes them the world series favorite. I don't care if I like him or not, I don't want one of the best players in baseball signing with the Yankees because in 5 years, after signing and he helps them appear in numerous playoff games and potentially world series, it'll hurt them.

Dodgers teammates loved him.
Steve Pearce said he was one of the best teammates he ever had and they are incredibly close friends and hangout all the time

Numerous other Orioles, including Jonathan Schoop, who became best friends with Machado, also said he was a great teammate and broke down crying when Manny was traded

Is Machado, a douche, dirty, that stuff on the field towards opponents? maybe, sure. But a cancer? He has never been a cancer to his own teammates and absolutely would make any team he signed with better.
