Even with the Dodgers moving salary and outfielders around to clear space in different areas, the consensus is that Bryce Harper isn’t making any decisions until well into the new year. Not only has Manny Machado reportedly informed interested teams that he’s not announcing his choice until January, the Dodgers may have been making room for entirely different targets than Harper (namely Corey Kluber and AJ Pollock).
That bodes well for the Cubs, who may have met with Harper and Scott Boras for as long as three hours during their clandestine summit at the Winter Meetings in Las Vegas.
