Whether Bryce Harper actually wanted to play here, and whether the front office was aggressive enough, none of us will really ever know. What we do know is the San Francisco Giants ultimately offered Harper a big deal, but it was apparently not good enough to beat out Philly’s offer. You can blame taxes, the large outfield, or aliens…but it simply did not work out.
Instead of moping around and talking about what could’ve been, the Giants need to shift back into focus on the free agent market. The aim is to bolster parts of their roster that still have big question marks.
