This past week has been all about Bryce Harper rumors for White Sox fans. We know that they are one of three teams (Dodgers, Phillies) that have the best chance to sign him.
Top 3 teams in the Bryce Harper Sweepstakes according to @kurkjian_ESPN
1. Phillies
2. Dodgers
3. White Sox— Kevin Negandhi (@KNegandhiESPN) December 7, 2018
Lost in all of this was that fact that Manny Machado is also available for the taking. Well, it seems like Rick Hahn didn’t get tunnel vision on Bryce Harper like a lot of us did.
It’s not just the #Phillies, #WhiteSox and #Yankees that have interest in Manny Machado. One rival executive hears at least three other teams are in the mix and will meet with Machado’s agent, Dan Lozano, at the winter meetings.

Who the 3 other teams are is anyone’s guess at this point. The White Sox front office did say a few weeks back that they will be in on both Harper and Machado, but this is the first actual report of them being actively involved.
With the Winter Meetings officially kicking off in Las Vegas tomorrow, it should be a wild week of rumors and record signings. Hopefully the White Sox can nab one of the two superstars.
