White Sox reportedly facing more new competition in the Bryce Harper derby

White Sox fans' attention seems squarely focused on Manny Machado as they wait for baseball's free-agent freeze to break. But it's important to remember they're still in the Bryce Harper sweepstakes, too.

Who knows to what extent, as there's been no report of an offer like there has been with their pursuit of Machado. But the White Sox reportedly twice met with Harper in Las Vegas in the final months of 2018: once in November, with Hall of Famer Jim Thome reportedly present, and once in December, when baseball descended on Harper's hometown of Las Vegas for the Winter Meetings.
