Manny Machado Rumors: White Sox Made Offer to SS; in Contact with Bryce Harper

The Chicago White Sox are still doing everything in their power to make a huge splash this offseason by talking to the two biggest free agents on the market.ย 

Perย USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the White Sox have made a formal offer to Manny Machado and remain in "constant contact" with Bryce Harper.ย 

It's unclear what the White Sox proposal toย Machadoย is in terms of years or money, butย Bruce Levineย of 670 The Score reported they won't make an offer longer than seven years to either player.

That could present a problem, at least in Chicago's chase for Harper, sinceย Levineย noted the former National League MVP has received multiple 10-year offers with "big" average annual salaries.ย 

The White Sox's interest inย Machadoย dates back to last season when they hadย interest in acquiringย him from the Baltimore Orioles.

Machadoย has alreadyย metย with the White Sox, Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees on his free-agency tour. The 26-year-old is coming off arguably the best season of his career, hitting .297/.367/.538 with 37 homers and 107 RBI in 162 games with the Orioles and Los Angeles Dodgers.ย
