If Bobby Evans was still the San Francisco Giants general manager, we know he would pursue Bryce Harper as a free agent. Evans pursued just about every big name free agent over the past three years.
Evans’ track record was not great for reeling in his prime targets. He did, however, succeed in pivoting from his primary target to his secondary targets well.
So, we know if Evans was in charge, he would have made a big push for Harper. When Harper signed elsewhere, Evans would pivot to A.J. Pollock. This is exactly what would happen.
