The Manny Machado Across America tour pulled into and out of Philadelphia on Thursday. Now it’s up to the free-agent infielder to decide if he wants to play in The Bronx, South Philly or on Chicago’s South Side.

For handicapping purposes, Machado has expressed a desire to play for the Yankees, who are wary of dropping a 10-year, $300 million deal on the 26-year-old. Millions of dollars are starting to burn a hole in the pocket of Phillies managing general partner John Middleton, and free agents are almost always drawn to the highest bidder. So make the Phillies a slight favorite. The White Sox were visited by Machado on Monday, but are viewed as the third-place finisher in a three-horse race.

Upon leaving his meeting with the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, Machado told MLB.com the visit was “Pretty awesome. I learned a lot about the organization.’’ Asked if there was timetable to sign, Machado said, “I don’t know about that. That’s my agent’s job. I am just enjoying the ride.’’

Machado, his wife and agent Dan Lozano dined with Yankees president Randy Levine, general manager Brian Cashman, manager Aaron Boone and newly minted special adviser Carlos Beltran and his wife Wednesday night at a Manhattan restaurant after spending 90 minutes at Yankee Stadium earlier in the day.

Thursday as he stepped from a car, a construction worker approached Machado and implored him to sign with the Phillies, whose front office if filled with executives who worked for the Orioles when Machado was signed and developed.

Machado clearly wants to be a Yankee and the club has shown enough interest in that happening to the point the very talented infielder was invited to see parts of the Stadium he hadn’t as a visiting Oriole and meet staff members who would help with a possible transition from seven years in Baltimore and two months in LA to The Bronx.

CC Sabathia, who rehabs his surgically repaired right knee daily at the Stadium, saw Machado on Wednesday and chatted with his former AL East nemesis.

Presumably, the Yankees paid the dinner bill. Now it will come down to what type of deal Machado will sign. Even before he became a free agent after the Red Sox dismantled his Dodgers in the World Series, there was talk of Machado commanding a 10-year contract worth at least $300 million. Now there is industry chatter that it might be higher.

When discussing high-end talent and the Yankees, you are wise to avoid saying never. And they stayed under the luxury tax in 2018 to have money for this free-agent class. Yet, they absorbed $230 million to get Giancarlo Stanton from the Marlins last December and are looking at Didi Gregorius, Dellin Betances and Aaron Hicks becoming free agents following the 2019 season when Aroldis Chapman can opt out of the final two seasons of a five-year deal worth $86 million that would have $30 million remaining.

At this point, it would be surprising if the Yankees commit 10 years and $300 million to Machado, who is among the top five players in the game but hurt himself in October when he was accused of being a dirty player by the Brewers and stunningly admitted hustling wasn’t part of his skill set.

There was a report the Yankees want an answer from Machado soon, but an industry source believed the process will go well into January.

Machado knows New York well and his desire to become a Yankee is real. However, the free agents generally go where the most money is available.

Free-agent pitcher Patrick Corbin grew up near Syracuse a Yankee fan and wasn’t shy about someday wanting to pitch in The Bronx. Like Machado, the left-handed Corbin got the Stadium tour and the dinner. Pitching coach Larry Rothschild flew in from Florida to meet Corbin. The Yankees dropped out when the Nationals secured Corbin with a six-year deal for a jaw-dropping $140 million.

Before Corbin went to the Nationals, the Yankees acquired James Paxton from the Mariners. After Corbin shunned an opportunity to pitch for his boyhood team the Yankees brought back J.A. Happ for two years at $34 million with an option that could stretch it to three years and $51 million.

As there was with starting pitching, there are options beyond Machado to fill the void created by Gregorius requiring Tommy John surgery on the right (throwing) elbow. Of course, none of those alternatives are as talented as Machado, who hit a combined .297 with 37 homers, 107 RBIs and a .905 OPS in 162 games for the Orioles and Dodgers.

The Yankees have shown interest in switch-hitting infielder Freddy Galvis and had a scout at Troy Tulowitzki’s workout at Long Beach State on Wednesday. Tulowitzki, 34, became a free agent when the Blue Jays released him despite owing him two years and a guaranteed $36 million. Due to injuries, Tulowitzki has been limited to 325 games in the past five seasons and didn’t play at all last year due to heel problems.
