It’s still unclear if Manny Machado or Bryce Harper will be signed first, but we do know that both sluggers are still generating interest from a number of teams, so this process could continue to drag a bit.
As it relates to Machado, he apparently has received offers from four MLB teams, which are the main suitors in play for his services. Machado’s father, Manuel, spoke to Dominican reporter Hector Gomez, and he shared which teams are in the mix: Yankees, Dodgers, Phillies and White Sox.

Manuel Machado, Manny’s Father:
"I believe that the team you will probably less think about is the one that’s gonna sign Manny Machado."#ZDigital #ZDeportes @z101digital @ZDeportes

It’s interesting that the Dodgers are still in the mix, as when the team traded for him, it was assumed he’d be a rental, especially with some of his antics during the playoffs. But it looks like there is a possibility Machado could remain in LA, and Harper could stay in DC, which is surprising.
