Free agency has been a tough one this winter. Players like Bryce Harper and Manny Machado are still waiting on deals. And younger guys like Luis Severino and Aaron Nola signed extensions to take them through their arbitration years. Is this the start of what we’ll begin seeing in the near-future? Or when the CBA comes up, will it all change again? The way things are headed now, the players union and the MLB look to clash when that time comes.
In the end, it’s highly likely that Harper and Machado will sign long-term deals.
