After a looooonnnngggg offseason of waiting, Bryce Harper has finally signed a deal with the Philadelphia Phillies per Jon Heyman.
Harper has agreed to a 13 year $330 million deal, making it the highest free agent contract ever handed out in the history of professional sports. The former NL MVP isn’t moving too far from Washington and is staying within the division to continue his reign of terror amongst the NL East. The finer details of the contract are still being figured out, but Harper has, at long last, found a new home.

Philadelphia has had a monster offseason adding a handful of other All-Stars like shortstop Jean Segura, catcher J.T. Realmuto, and outfielder Andrew McCutchen. The team adds on to a plethora of young talent and have become automatic World Series contenders with this gigantic acquisition. Harper should be joining the team for spring training as soon as the ink is officially dry on the contract.
