MLB Rumors: Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies MLB free agent dance is apparently coming to a close, with multiple reports indicating that the Phillies and Harper are finalizing an agreement. Barry Svrluga says the deal is 13 years, $330 million with no opt outs.
The free agent outfielder has spent his entire career with the Washington Nationals after an unusual path that saw him get his GED after his sophomore year in high school, play at a junior college after what would have been his junior year in high school, and then enter the MLB draft a year earlier that normal.
