Bryce Harper has become a Philadelphia legend in his first five seasons with the Phillies, leading the way as the team became a powerhouse in the National League. The slugger is still under contract through 2031, but he is already thinking about how to end his career in Philadelphia.
At the Winter Meetings on Wednesday, Harper’s agent, Scott Boras, explained that Harper already wants to approach the team about a contract extension.
“Bryce has certainly expressed to them that he wants to end his career in Philadelphia,” Boras said, via ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez. “He came there for the fans. Apart from my advice, he goes, ‘I just want to go and make sure I can recruit players in Philadelphia, let the fans in Philadelphia know that I’m going to be there for the duration, that I am committed.’ I think he’s been an important voice for them to attract major free agents.”
