Manny Machado is going to have a busy week.

The free-agent infielder has meetings scheduled with three teams, starting with the Chicago White Sox on Monday.

He's then scheduled to visit the New York Yankees on Wednesday and the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday, according to Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY Sports.

Even after a controversial postseason with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which included a number of dustups and his comments about not wanting to hustle, interest in Machado has been high.

However, the White Sox reportedly won't hand the 26-year-old a record deal, and the Yankees are apparently unwilling to spend $300 million on him.

Philadelphia traded for shortstop Jean Segura two weeks ago.

Machado hit 37 homers and drove in 107 runs last season, which he split between the Baltimore Orioles and the Dodgers. Three more teams aside from the White Sox, Yankees, and Phillies were reportedly in the race for his services before the winter meetings and planned to meet with his agent there.
