The Philadelphia Phillies appear to have won the Bryce Harper sweepstakes, finalizing a deal with the free-agent outfielder, league sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Thursday.
Harper, the 2015 National League MVP, was one of the top prizes in this year's crop of free agents. Infielder Manny Machado agreed to a 10-year, $300 million deal with the Padres, and it was thought Harper would exceed that contract. No terms were immediately available.
Still only 26, Harper is already a six-time All-Star and was the NL Rookie of the Year in 2012.
