There's no way Harper's going to take just $300 mil now that that's what the Padres gave Machado.

Arenado is staying in Colorado

Nearing the end of the first full week of spring training, there may be a light at the end of the free-agent tunnel for Bryce Harper.
Per Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Phillies have grown "confident" they will sign Harper as the two sides have ramped up their negotiations in recent days.
Breen noted Philadelphia began the offseason "with the expectation" of signing either Harper or Manny Machado.
The Machado sweepstakes ended Tuesday when the All-Star shortstop agreed to a 10-year, $300 million deal with the San Diego Padres, per MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.
Appearing on CBS Sports HQ (h/t CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin), The Athletic's Jim Bowden reported Harper's eventual deal will exceed Machado's deal as well as the $325 million deal the Miami Marlins gave Giancarlo Stanton in November 2014.
The San Francisco Giants have been linked to Harper recently, but USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported their offer will be a "lucrative short-term deal" instead of the potentially long-term contract he could receive elsewhere.
The Phillies are competing with the Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals atop the National League East. Signing Harper would not only make them better, it would also take him away from the Nationals.
Harper, 26, has hit .279/.388/.512 with 184 homers in seven MLB seasons. He's been named to the NL All-Star team six times and won the 2015 NL MVP award.
Articles have started to pop up about a probable MLB strike. As if there wasn't enough things in the professional sports world to piss fans off.

Apparently, the owner of the Phillies flew out to Las Vegas last night. Bryce Harper lives in Las Vegas.
Philly's all like...

It's being reported that the Dodgers have jumped into the Harper race and their giving it a full court press to try and sign him.

If he wanted to play in Philadelphia, he would have signed with them by now. We should sign Keuchel and Kimbrel and save our money for a run at Trout when he becomes available... or Arenado.

Bleacher Report is reporting that Harper will make his decision by the end of the week.
RBP (02-25-2019)
Wouldn't it be funny as shit if when he finally makes his decision, when he walks into the locker room for the first time, all of his teammates just shake their heads at him and gives him the cold shoulder?
I know it's not gonna happen, they're all gonna slap him on the back and congratulate him on his huge payday, but one could always dream.

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado reportedly could be paid a record-breaking amount before he even hits free agency.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the National League West team offered him a seven-year contract extension worth $245 million. While he is scheduled to become a free agent following the 2019 campaign, this extension would replace the contract that's set to pay him $26 million this year. The new pact would also hand him an average annual salary of $35 million through 2025.
Nightengale noted Miguel Cabrera holds the position player record at $31 million per year.
