As far as newsworthy updates in the Bryce Harper saga, this isn’t high on the list.

Heyman said the Cubs have “checked in” with Harper. This doesn’t mean they did so recently or will do so again, but Heyman was describing the Cubs’ interest and pursuit among a list of potential so-called “mystery” teams that could surprise in the Harper sweepstakes.
