SAN DIEGO -- The Padres' quiet offseason is quiet no more.
San Diego brass will meet with superstar free agent Bryce Harper on Thursday night in Las Vegas, sources told MLB.com. MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal was first to report on the meeting.
The news comes on the heels of a busy week in which the Padres expressed legitimate interest in signing free-agent third baseman/shortstop Manny Machado, and they've been linked with Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto, the top player available on the trade market.
San Diego has a bit of a logjam in its corner outfield, where Wil Myers, Franmil Reyes, Hunter Renfroe and Franchy Cordero are slated to compete for time.
