LAS VEGAS — The White Sox seem to have a very specific set of circumstances when it comes to going after big-name free agents this winter.
Rick Hahn has explained over and over again that a player has to fit in with the team's long-term plans, and he's discussed taking advantage of opportunities to add premium talent to his ongoing rebuilding effort.
And the obvious guys that fall into that category are Bryce Harper and Manny Machado, the two biggest names on the free-agent market, two 26-year-old superstars who are expected to receive some of the biggest contracts in baseball history and change whichever franchise they sign up with.
