MLB rumors: Bryce Harper won't sign short-term deal with Giants, anyone else

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The great unknown in the chase for Bryce Harper is what, exactly, it will take to get his signature on a contract.

It's no secret that the overhauled front office at Oracle Park does not like long-term contracts, so as the Giants have thrown their hat in the ring, the general thought has been that they'll try to get the superstar outfielder to sign a short-term deal in a more desirable location.

Not so fast, says Fancred's Jon Heyman.

Despite rumored offers/wishes of teams, word is Bryce Harper is not signing — or even considering — short-term deals.
