If no news is good news, than the White Sox have received a whole lot of good news this winter, because they're still waiting on the free-agent decisions of Bryce Harper and Manny Machado.
They're still in the hunt for the top two names on the free-agent market, a pair of 26-year-old superstars with the ability to transform the franchise. But the ongoing chase for the services of Harper and Machado now seem likely to drag past the opening of White Sox camp Wednesday in Glendale, Arizona. How long will they drag on past that?
According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, this is a "staring contest" between agents Scott Boras (Harper) and Dan Lozano (Machado) in which neither side wants to blink first.
