Speculation that free-agent outfielder Bryce Harper will sign with the Philadelphia Phillies ran rampant Monday after photos of customized Harper/Phillies bats leaked online.
Twitter user Chris Jones tweeted a photo of the two bats:
According to Erin Dunne of NBC Sports Philadelphia, the photo originated as an unsent screenshot on Reddit.
The bats were made by Victus, which is Harper's preferred bat company.
WIP's Jack Fritz later reported that sources from Victus said the bats weren't made to accommodate a special order. Rather, they were made just in case Harper does sign with the Phillies.
