Everyone is trying to read between the lines and figure out where Bryce Harper and Manny Machado will be signing.
As far as Harper goes, former Mets GM Steve Phillips tweeted out some of his thoughts on the outfielder's suitors. It's a wild ride with an ending White Sox fans will like.
There is being “in” on a free agent player and there is being “IN”. A team (#Cubs) saying they might be in on Bryce Harper, if they can move $ or if the owner changes his mind, is not really “IN.”

A team (#Phillies) that is “IN” on Bryce Harper, would meet with him at the winter meetings in Las Vegas when he was three blocks away.
