Free-agent outfielder Bryce Harper figures to sign with a team at some point, but that eventual deal reportedly may not come for "a few or even several more days."
That is what Jon Heyman of MLB Network reported Monday, noting the San Francisco Giants, San Diego Padres, Chicago White Sox and possibly the Washington Nationals are still involved in addition to the Philadelphia Phillies. He noted the "rumor" the Nationals were given the right to match an offer at the end of his free agency is "untrue."
This comes after Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported Harper "will ultimately receive more than the 10-year, $300 million contract he turned down from the Nats in September" from the Phillies.
