New York paper shows Harper, Machado in Yankees uniforms
Major League Baseball's free-agent class of the 2018 offseason will be an impressive one, but one New York paper may have jumped to a couple of conclusions on Monday when they released an intriguing cover.
The New York Daily News created a newspaper cover featuring the likes of catcher Gary Sanchez standing next to Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper and Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado in Yankees pinstripes.

Harper and Machado are both eligible for free agency for the first time after the 2018 season, joining an impressive crop of players including Josh Donaldson, Andrew McCutchen, and potentially Clayton Kershaw and David Price if they opt out of their current contracts.
