CBS Sports | Katherine Acquavella & Mike Axisa: We’re about a week away from pitchers and catchers reporting and somehow (read: collusion) Bryce Harper and Manny Machado are still free agents. A mystery team has emerged for Harper’s services, but no one knows who it is so it could be the Yankees! Also not happy with his offers, Machado is supposedly still holding out hope for a deal with the Bombers even if they’re not interested. It’s almost like he’s could fall into their laps but the front office decided to stand up instead.
