Report: Given the choice, Bryce Harper would prefer as many years of guaranteed money as he can get

Here's a tweet you will all get a kick out of:

Despite rumored offers/wishes of teams, word is Bryce Harper is not signing — or even considering — short-term deals.

This tweet perfectly sums up this offseason, in that:

- It contains no real insight. We're all obligated to tweet and write updates about Harper/Machado because that's the job and people eat it up, but there has not been real news on either in months, so here we are.
- It casually glazes over the fact that MLB teams remain vigilant about shortchanging generational free agents
- Implies blame at Harper for not being open to taking less than he's worth.
