The White Sox have some more competition in their attempts to sign Manny Machado. According to recent reports, a mystery team has joined the sweepstakes to sign the superstar free agent this offseason.
On Friday, Jon Heyman tweeted that a mystery team not only joined the Machado sweepstakes but their offer is believed to be the highest. This tweet came after Hector Gomez tweeted a quote from Machado’s father that implied a team many would less think about could, in fact, sign the free agent.
As the White Sox continue to build a competitive team for 2019, news of a mystery team could derail their attempts to sign Machado.
