It had been a while since we had a Bryce Harper story at District on Deck. We lasted, well, just over two weeks before your regularly scheduled Harper coverage resumed on Wednesday. Several reports have emerged around the superstar recently, and they could indicate the Washington Nationals are favorites in those sweepstakes.
Things restarted with Jeff Passan of ESPN reporting that Harper had met with Nationals representatives multiple times this offseason. Then, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reported that Nats owner Ted Lerner met with the outfielder and his agent, Scott Boras, just before Christmas.
