To date, there have been no published reports indicating the Mets have interest in or will eventually sign Bryce Harper. However, if things break the right way, I see a way Brodie Van Wagenen can step in and steal him.
Again, based on talks with industry sources, as well as multiple rival executives, here's what I believe to be true as I type this right now...
- The Phillies are hellbent on signing Manny Machado or Harper. If they lose out on one, they'll push full throttle to sign the other.
- The Yankees are serious when saying they don't want Harper.
