Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Manny Machado and Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper are the crown jewels of the upcoming MLB free agency class.
Deep-pocketed teams such as the Yankees and Phillies are expected to make runs at both players.

Bryce Harper, OF, Nationals -- There's been a lot of speculation about the Dodgers, Yankees, Braves, Phillies, and Nationals being in pursuit of Harper as a free agent, but one team you shouldn't rule out is the Giants, who desperately need to revamp their offense.
