Much has been made about the White Sox having the second lowest payroll in baseball. As a result, they are in place to spend big money on Bryce Harper or Manny Machado. Yet the questions remain…how much is too much?
While many think Machado will go elsewhere – though the White Sox appear to have tried tempting him through the signing of Yonder Alonso – Harper seems within range. His high dollar demand has been well documented.
The hunt is well known. Excitingly, as of a few weeks ago, it seemed like Harper himself was warming up to the idea.
