There was a time when it appeared as if slugger Manny Machado was receiving interest from a number of MLB teams that were looking to sign him, but it looks like that number has been whittled down quite a bit.<\/p>\n

Machado was initially seeking a 10-year blockbuster contract, but that seemed to have driven some of his suitors away, as that’s a ridiculous commitment for an organization on a player that’s had character issues in the past. And he did get quite a large offer from the White Sox apparently, according to a report from ESPN’s Jeff Passan.<\/p>\n

The Chicago White Sox have offered Manny Machado an eight-year deal and could be compelled to go even longer, league sources tell ESPN. The Phillies remain in on him as their Bryce Harper pursuit heats up. The latest on the biggest free agents, at ESPN: https:\/\/t.co\/UojB6trmDX<\/a><\/p>\n
