According to the AL Rookie of the Year, Machado didn't have a response, as he told to the still Orioles' player that it would be really good to have a player of his caliber in the Yankees:

He's one of the best, if not the best, defensive third basemen. Now he's probably going to be one of the best defensive shortstops. And what he brings in the offensive side of it, he's the complete package.
