MLB Trade Rumors: Kris Bryant, Mookie Betts Avoid Arbitration

With a little more than a month before pitchers and catchers report to spring training, the two biggest free agents of this offseason still have yet to sign deals.

The Yankees, Phillies and White Sox are the Manny Machado frontrunners, while Harper is set to meet with the Phillies brass in his hometown of Las Vegas this weekend, and could command a contract worth at least $200 million.

Friday marked the unofficial deadline for teams and players to come to terms on one-year contracts for 2019 to avoid arbitration. While several came to agreements, others will move to trial to sort things out.
