Dickerson has been a longtime mentor to Machado, whom the Phillies want to sign to a multiyear contract. Machado visited the Phils late last month at Citizens Bank Park. They have made an official offer and reportedly will make a follow-up offer soon. The Phillies received glowing reviews about Dickerson from many who have worked with him. Certainly Machado would like to have Dickerson in Philly, but the Phils know that this is not something that will sway Machado. The money has to be right.
