Scott Boras spoke about where the Philadelphia Phillies stand on a Bryce Harper extension.
While he accepted the 13-year, $330 million deal he's currently playing on and won't hit free agency until 2032, the Phillies have a reason to give him more.representing the two-time MVP Award winner, it's safe to say Harper is in good hands.
Harper might not be at the top of Boras' priority list due to the free agency period being active, but the super agent has also spoken about getting an extension done in the past.Spencer McKercher of NBC Sports Philadelphia“There's no question that, you know, those dynamics are being discussed. John and Dave have taken the time to talk to me about it. So we're in a place where there's very good communication and understanding of what’s going on.
As a team, Philadelphia has played well since landing Harper in 2019. Winning a World Series is the final thing the ball club has to do, and if the front office makes the right moves during the rest of his contract, there's a good chance of them accomplishing that. Since joining the team, Harper has slashed .285/.391/.533 with a 149 OPS+, 748 hits, 152 home runs, 186 doubles, and 451 RBI in 3,128 at-bats. His numbers rival the best hitters in baseball during that span.
The Phillies have other priorities with a few holes on their current roster, but once the dust settles, extending Harper could be something the front office decides to do.Published
