Much of the focus has been on the the northern contingent of the NL East, but don’t be surprised if Bryce Harper gets some very serious attention from the south. No, not Miami, silly. According to David O’Brien of The Athletic Atlanta, there’s been persistent chatter about the Braves’ involvement in the pursuit of the coveted outfielder.
Despite any posturing you might hear now, don't be surprised if #Braves are players in the Bryce Harper sweepstakes. I keep hearing things that make me believe they will be.

O’Brien is a reliable member of a reliable outlet and I don’t have any reason to doubt what he’s saying, but we still have to file this latest blurb to the “believe it when we see it” rhetoric folder.
