With one week remaining until pitchers and catchers report to Scottsdale, Arizona, the San Francisco Giants have yet to sign a free agent position player.
First-year president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi has promised incremental improvements to the roster, but the Giants have appeared reluctant to back up the Brinks truck and enter the sweepstakes for high-profile free agents.
Until now.
Multiple reports indicated Wednesday the Giants are one of the remaining teams pursuing 26-year-old slugger Bryce Harper, a six-time All-Star who has already turned down a 10-year, $300 million offer from his former club, the Washington Nationals.
