Phillies fans haven’t heard much from Bryce Harper with him spending the first seven years of his career in Washington D.C. His introductory press conference on the top the first base dugout in Clearwater was truly an introduction to his new city, one he hopes to grow a family in.
Harper and his wife Kayla met in high school and have been married for two years. Bryce talked about wanting to start and grow a family in Philadelphia, saying he wants to be able to say his kids are from Philadelphia.
A big piece in the negotiations came from ownership, but not the first person you think of.
