This weekend Major League Baseball’s free agent market will officially open up. Across the Delaware Valley and beyond, many Phillies fans are excited. The general consensus is that the team is all in on Bryce Harper and Manny Machado, this year’s big prizes.
Not to be one of those doomsayers, but let’s proceed with some caution. Already there has been some talk that the Phillies may be out on Machado. Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports suggested on WFAN radio that a big market team was already out on Machado. Could that team be the Phillies?
During the World Series Harper’s Super-Agent Scott Boras suggested on YES Network that a deal was already done.
