Reports surfaced on Friday night that Phillies owner John Middleton’s plane was on the ground in Las Vegas. He was in town to meet with free agent Bryce Harper.
Is this the weekend a deal finally gets done? The Phillies are the favorites to land him, but the longer they go without signing him the more of an opportunity for another team to slide in and sign him.
A source in Las Vegas tells me that Phillies owner John Middleton’s plane is on the ground in that city. Vegas is Bryce Harper’s home town. No other details, but talks clearly ongoing.

If the Phillies really want him they better not leave Las Vegas until he’s agreed to a deal. The Padres are a long shot, but they’re still trying to figure out a way to make Harper an offer.
Padres brass is meeting today to see if they can try for a 2nd mega star. Probably still a long shot but give them credit for brass you know whats https://t.co/vWWpCrVtt8
