Harper's Choice: Phillies over Giants
Description
Bryce Harpers free agency in 2019 was a major event in baseball, with the Philadelphia Phillies securing his services with a 13-year, $330 million deal. However, the decision came down to the wire between Philly and the San Francisco Giants. Harpers choice was influenced by Bruce Bochys departure from the Giants and Californias high state taxes. The Giants have a history of near-misses with star players, including Harper, Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge, and Carlos Correa. If Harper had joined the Giants, it could have led to a formidable duo with Judge and potentially altered the 2022 World Series outcome. Despite the Giants regrets, Harper has thrived in Philadelphias gritty style, contributing to their recent playoff success.
