Harper rumors run wild, dispelled as free agency drags out

Each day Bryce Harper goes unsigned, the rumors involving the six-time All-Star free agent continue to pile up.

Over the past few days, a series of tweets ramped up speculation that Harper was due to sign soon — only for others to knock them back down.

First, the Twitter account for the baseball video game “MLB The Show” tweeted on Monday, “You’ll want to keep an eye on this account tomorrow…just saying” and included a photo of Harper, who is the cover athlete for this year’s edition. The tweet sparked a discussion on whether that meant Harper was about to announce his decision.
