MLB rumors: Bryce Harper talks 'heating up'; Phillies seen as favorites

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Giants will hold their first full-squad workout Monday, joining teams across Arizona and Florida. Bryce Harper and Manny Machado remain unsigned as camps really get going, but perhaps there finally will be some movement with one of the star free agents.

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reported Sunday that “things are heating up with Harper.” Heyman also tweeted that the Phillies are the favorites to sign the slugger, but “word remains that nothing’s done yet. Will be a long-term deal.”

Heyman later added that Harper still is talking to other teams besides the Phillies -- the Giants and the Padres specifically are involved.
