The latest Phillies rumors now suggest there is “momentum” and “traction” between the Phillies and Bryce Harper, according to league insider Jim Bowden of The Athletic.
Bowden, the former general manager of the Nationals and Reds, said on CBS Sports HQ he sees Harper going either back to Washington or to Philadelphia, but that Philly is the leader in the clubhouse.
“I keep hearing there’s a lot of momentum and traction here on [Bryce Harper] going and signing with the Philadelphia Phillies. He could be rounding third and heading home shortly.”
Bowden adds that the two parties are “pretty well down the process” which suggests they are getting closer on a number and the logistics of a potential deal.
