What I'm Hearing: USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale says that a third team is making a late push to sign MLB slugger Bryce Harper. USA TODAY Sports
Can you imagine if Mike Ilitch was still alive?
And Bryce Harper was on the open market, just sitting there, for several months?
How would Ilitch have handled it?
I don’t think he could resist himself. I’m guessing Ilitch, the Detroit Tigers owner who died two years ago this month, would pull out his piggy bank, smash it open and snag him up – like the good old days – and Harper would be a Tiger.
