As Bryce Harper saga drags on, St. Louis County police enter the bidding (sort of)

Spring training starts in about two weeks, and despite plenty of interest from fans and some teams, the race for star outfielder Bryce Harper remains without a winner.

The Philadelphia Phillies and other teams have made a big push to land Harper, and on Tuesday, the Philadelphia Police Department added to the festivities. In a tongue-in-cheek tweet, the department announced Harper was indeed coming to Philadelphia for his next job — wearing a badge and police uniform.

The rumors are true*: Bryce Harper* is coming to Philadelphia [police]*. It's a multi-year deal worth $51,245 per year to start, with a city option to increase annually.
