Ep. 202: What the heck is going on with Harper and Machado? - a podcast by NBC Sports Chicago

The wait continues for both free agents to sign. Are we just delaying the inevitable that Harper signs with the Phillies and Machado with the White Sox?

Chuck Garfien and Ryan McGuffey speak with USA Today's Bob Nightengale who wrote an article entitled, "MLB's free agency freeze is an embarrassment for baseball."

Is the Nationals offer to Harper still on the table? (17:30) Is the Padres pursuit for real? (25:00) Nightengale makes his predictions for Machado and Harper (25:50).

Should we believe in mystery teams? (26:40) How a salary floor for all 30 MLB teams could be a solution (27:30) and more.
