The Bryce Harper-Manny Machado sweepstakes roll on with absolutely no end in sight, despite spring training creeping closer and closer. Rumors continue to swirl about both superstars, with the San Diego Padres joining the mix as a contender to land one of the free agents along with the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago White Sox, and in Harper’s case, the Washington Nationals. But while the Padres are the new kids on the block in the sweepstakes, showing serious interest in Machado and reportedly meeting with Harper earlier this week, the franchise prefers one star over the other, according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman.

Petronas Yamaha SRT: the birth of a team in under six months
With the countdown to the first Valencia test underway, Stigefelt and Zeelenberg went to work on the sporting side and, as the Team Director himself recalls: “Yamaha’s help during the team’s first steps was fundamental. If they didn’t help us out in the way they did for the Valencia test, with the engineers, technicians, material… we wouldn’t have been able to do that test or even Jerez.” The other key to those early stages, according to Stigefelt, was to create ‘a good group.’ “You can have the biggest budget and the best material but you need a good human group. If you don’t have that, the team spirit and the team itself will never be the same.” Source link
MLB Rumors: Yankees Execs ‘Mixed’ On Team Trying To Sign Manny Machado
All signs point toward Manny Machado landing somewhere other than the Bronx. The New York Yankees, who signed shortstop Troy Tulowitzki last week, on Friday agreed to a two-year, $ 24 million contract with infielder DJ LeMahieu. While this doesn’t preclude New York from signing Machado, one of the best players in Major League Baseball, it creates even more doubt as to whether the four-time All-Star is a good fit for the Bronx Bombers. Thus, the Chicago White Sox and Philadelphia Phillies — the two other teams who’ve met with Machado in free agency — appear to be the front-runners for his services. And if we’re to believe Fancred’s Jon Heym... NESN.com
