Bryce Harper chose the Philadelphia Phillies over the SF Giants when he was a free-agent in 2018. Would he make the same decision now?
On Thursday, just a couple of hours after the Rule 5 Draft, Jayson Stark of The Athletic reported that the Philadelphia Phillies were on the verge of hiring Dave Dombrowski as their president of baseball operations. Dombrowski has previously served as the top baseball decision-maker for the Miami Marlins, Detroit Tigers, and Boston Red Sox, reaching the World Series with each team, winning championships in Miami and Boston.
