Hey, guys. It’s me. It’s been two hours since we last had some Bryce Harper speculation, but the long wait is finally over.

No, silly goose, Bryce Harper didn’t sign anywhere, we just have some more speculation!

I know, I know. “Just make it stop,” you say. Sorry, but I can’t.

Former MLB general manager and current analyst Jim Bowden appeared on… honestly, I don’t even know what this show is, and if we’re being completely honest, it doesn’t actually matter. Anyway, he appeared on this CBS Sports platform and was asked if San Francisco was now the likely landing spot for Harper. Bowden, who says he has been in touch with the star outfielder’s camp as recently as this morning (an actually relevant detail), had this to say:

Bowden:

A couple of things that Bryce Harper’s camp has made clear to me is number one, Bryce Harper wants to win. And if he were to go to a team that’s not ready to win, he wants to make sure that within a year or two that they can win. Because his goal is to win a world championship and that’s not going to happen in San Francisco or San Diego, for me. The other thing that I was told early this morning from his camp is that he has no interest in a short-term deal…

This pretty much meshes with Jon Heyman’s earlier report that Harper is, in fact, seeking a long-term deal. So if not the Giants and Harper, then who, Jimbo? Then who?!

If I had to pick a favorite this particular minute, I’d probably stay with the Philadelphia Phillies.

I’m sure the sportsbooks out of Antigua and Panama are “updating the odds” as we speak.
