Contract talks between Bryce Harper, Phillies nearing conclusion

Negotations between the Philadelphia Phillies and Bryce Harper could be resolved by Tuesday, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney.

The Phillies remain confident that they are going to sign Harper, but sources told Olney that the sides are nearing a crossroad in their negotiations.

If the Phillies close out a deal with Harper, it would conclude an offseason in which Philadelphia landed two All-Star outfielders, Andrew McCutchen and Harper; the player regarded as the best catcher in baseball, J.T. Realmuto; and All-Star reliever David Robertson.

Phillies managing general partner John Middleton flew to Las Vegas for meetings with the Harper camp on Friday, sources previously confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
