- Franchise-changing players do not often come up for grabs and so the glacial pace at which teams moved to snap up Bryce Harper and Manny Machado left many wondering why two huge talents were made to wait for their mega paydays.
“It’s just very confusing to me, you know? If I was an owner, president, GM, I would love to have Bryce Harper or Manny Machado on my team,” Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant said at the team’s annual winter fan convention last month.While only a few teams emerged as serious suitors for Harper and Machado, it was eventually proved that the game’s top talent get paid.
Machado, who played a key role in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ run to the World Series last year, agreed to a 10-year, $300 million free agent deal with the San Diego Padres last week. Another factor is that some teams have opted instead to rebuild with younger, lower-cost rosters, a strategy that Harper’s agent Scott Boras previously referred to as “competitive cancer.”The unusually slow pace of signings was so odd that a number of MLB players weighed in, including San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria, who sounded off on Instagram last month.
