Harper is rumored to get 8-10 over 300.. Machado is getting offered a rumored 100 million less. Let's say harper signs for 300 with nationals or someone else. Agent Lozano has leverage to raise the price based on demand. You can argue the player is comparable (which he is) and raise Machados market. If the Phillies miss out on Harper they will be desperate to get Machado. I still for some God unknown reason think the Yankees are in on Machado and the Cubs and Dodgers are in on harper. Its eerie that they are silent. Maybe they really cant afford it but I believe they are letting the others battle it out and waiting for there time. I am hope I am wrong but its making more sense to me as time passes. I think the Yankees know machado wants them and harper wants Cubs and Dodgers.. there playing it right
