Training camps open in less than three weeks and Harper and Machado are still unsigned. [View all]
This is insane. These are the two best free agents to hit the market in years, and nether has signed. This isn't an instance where you have two 30+ year old players asking for 10 year deals. These guys should both in their primes for the bulk of the next decade.
I'm glad that teams are trying to get a handle on out of control contracts, but not if it just means that owners get to pocket the difference. I'm also worried about what this means for keeping the peace between the players union and the league heading into the next CBA.
