Does it even make sense for Harper and Machado to wait?

With just a few weeks before pitchers and catchers report to spring training, the sport’s two biggest free agents are still on the market.

If these guys were cuts of meat, the butcher in the back would have scribbled out the expiration date two or three times already.

Bryce Harper and Manny Machado are not on the Phillies yet, nor are they on anyone else’s team. And while the first part is certainly frustrating for Phils fans, the second part is the most important.

The Phillies are still in the driver’s seat to land either player, whichever one they want. That’s really good news.

So what’s the hold up? Why are we being trolled by a video game?

Why are we all hunting the internet for any clues…
