The six-time All-Star had long been linked to signing with New York during the 2019 offseason, but unfortunately for Harper, he just doesn’t seem to be a fit for this Yankees roster. According to former Mets GM and MLB Network Radio host Steve Phillips the Yanks won’t be in on the Harper sweepstakes.
Bad news for Scott Boras and Bryce Harper: per a source the #Yankees “will not be in on Harper.” Not a complete surprise as indicated by re-signing of Brett Gardner. Seems Machado and pitching additions are Plan A.

After last winter’s acquisition of Giancarlo Stanton and the quick resigning of Brett Gardner this offseason the Yankees sure seem to be set with outfielders for the upcoming season.
