Here we go again.
The Philadelphia Phillies remain the favorites for the services of Bryce Harper, according to MLB analyst and former general manager Jim Bowden, who is reporting that Harper “could be rounding third and heading to home shortly.”
"I keep hearing there's a lot of momentum and traction here on [Bryce Harper] going and signing with the Philadelphia Phillies.
He could be rounding third and heading home shortly."

Las Vegas continues to list the San Francisco Giants as the favorites to land Harper, but Bowden doesn’t believe Vegas is going to get this right. He reported that the Giants and San Diego Padres offered short-term deals and Harper isn’t interested in anything but a long-term one.
