With less than two weeks before spring training officially starts, several key MLB free agents remain without teams. This includes superstars Bryce Harper and Manny Machado, who appear to be in no rush to find a new home.
The Hot Stove momentarily heated up when the Philadelphia Phillies acquired catcher J.T. Realmuto from the Miami Marlins, citing their "win-right-now mode" mentality. Perhaps in the coming days, more teams will follow their lead in adding more talent via the free-agent pipeline.
Here are all the latest rumors and news around baseball:
• The New York Yankees reportedly offered infielder Manny Machado a contract worth $220 million ranging between seven and eight years, according to former New York Mets GM Jim Duquette.
