Bryce Harper reportedly met with representatives of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday in Las Vegas as the drawn-out pursuit of baseball's top free agent extends deep into spring training.
Multiple outlets reported Monday the Dodgers are back in the Harper sweepstakes, which had been presumed to be down to a three-team race in the National League as recently as Friday. The San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres were the other teams thought to still be alive in the bid to land the left-handed slugger.
ESPN reported that the Dodgers re-engaged Harper's camp two weeks ago, inquiring about his interest in a shorter-term contract with a higher average annual value.
