CLEARWATER, Fla. — After the Phillies came off the practice fields Tuesday, Bryce Harper spoke with owner John Middleton and the front office about the state of the roster.
“I was just letting them know how I feel,” Harper said.
Sure enough, shortly after arriving in the clubhouse Wednesday morning, Harper learned from the media that the Phillies reached an agreement on a four-year contract with free-agent slugger Kyle Schwarber.
