There also is nothing coming from any teams supposedly favored to land him that indicates they are likely either. The Yankees have enough OF. The Cubs aren't adding another mega contract. The Dodgers won't give him the years he wants. I don't think Harper wants to leave the Nats for the Phillies. Playing in LA, or Wrigley, or for the Pinstripes...yes that is enticing. I think the Phillies serve as nothing more than to drive his price up. If he goes elsewhere, that's fine. We are still building a good team without him. I just see him not getting the offers he wants from the teams he wants and instead he comes back to DC with some opt outs so in a few years perhaps he can get his chance to play in one of those other cities he covets.
I agree with pretty much all of that. He's probably pondering a 3-4 year deal in LA, a 350m deal in Philly, or 300-325 to stay here. Not sure which he picks if those are the options.
