The Philadelphia Phillies have finally won the Bryce Harper sweepstakes after reportedly agreeing to a deal with the 2015 National League MVP Thursday.
Per MLB Network's Jon Heyman, Harper will sign with the Phillies. ESPN's Jeff Passan reported the two sides were finalizing a record-breaking deal worth $330 million over 13 years with no opt-outs.
All eyes have been on Harper's free agency dating back to the start of the 2018 season. He struggled out of the gate, at least by his lofty standards, with a .214/.365/.468 slash line in the first half.
