How ironic!

Manny Machado just arrived at Citizens Bank Park and the very first thing he did was take a picture with a hard-working, blue collar, lunch pail type of guy.

This construction worker had some advice for the free agent slugger:

“Super Bowl champs. World Series here. Do the right thing and sign!”

If that doesn’t sway him, nothing will.

Here’s another angle of my man:

Update:

He’s a union electrician named “Tom” –

Tom Cudeyro, 57, is a union electrician who was working across the street and on lunch break. “Yeah, he could go to New York and be everywhere,” he said of Machado. “But if he comes here, he’s beloved forever.” pic.twitter.com/5FIuZFavsJ

There is no way he’s signing here.
