Though the Phillies never seriously considered it, Bryce Harper said he was willing to move back to the outfield during the offseason to accommodate a potential free agent first baseman.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, Harper spoke about his 14-year big league career, the Juan Soto deal and his love for Philadelphia.
The most interesting nugget from Rosenthal’s conversation with Harper came when the superstar slugger revealed that he told the Phillies that he was willing to move back to the outfield if the Phillies had the chance to pursue an impact first baseman in free agency.
