SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–After months of downplaying their interest in free agent outfielder Bryce Harper, a Giants contingent featuring Larry Baer, Farhan Zaidi and Bruce Bochy tried to sneak into Las Vegas at the beginning of February.
Their mission to remain undercover during a meeting with Harper and agent Scott Boras was unsuccessful, leading to weeks of speculation over whether the Giants would commit to a long-term deal for the six-time All-Star.
As the month of February draws to a close, the Giants are no longer the only National League West team pursing Harper.
Let the speculation floodgates open again, because the Los Angeles Dodgers have re-entered the Harper sweepstakes.
