Bryce Harper and his family are now taking off from Las Vegas to his new spring training home in Clearwater, Fla.where he plans to be for the rest of his career, with hopes of winning a few World Series titles along the way. #Phillies

John Clark has been training his whole life for this.

“They went from vanilla to parfait.”

Passan says in order for Bryce to convince others to join him in Philly, not having the opt out helps convince them that’s hes here for the long haul.

Wonder what certain free agent he’s gonna try and convince?

Kris Bryant?

Yessir! Welcome to Philly @Bharper3407 best fans in the world right here. Let’s go!

Magic got on the phone and shared some sound advice about thinking before he Tweets. He wasn't tampering though because Simmons has him in his cell phone.

I hope he comes to Philly once in a while.

Seems like he does from hearing him talk about it. Guy just loves Philly sports, wanted to be a reporter, and figured the best way to differentiate himself was being the guy willing to track these dudes down at the airport.

This is like fanfic at this point.

Hopefully that quote puts the "Simmons to LA" bull shit to rest.

It goes to show you how much misinformation is out there and Philadelphia's inferiority complex takes control with the slightest hint of negativity. Bryce likes Philly. Always has. Maybe not as much as he liked LA, but he likes Philly. Things are really good in Philly right now. Hope people embrace it.

We are entering the all-time golden age of Philly sports.

I traded Machado for Harper in my fantasy league last night. I also have Hoskins on my team. Really looking forward to the season...hoping to pick up more Phillies in the draft.

I was thinking about getting into a fantasy baseball league again this year but it stressed me out in an abnormal way I think. I like numbers and I am indecisive.

Ask your dad.

His head would explode.

He refuses to play in leagues that have OBP.

If you are interested, I have spots available in two 12 team roto leagues I commish. One is a keeper league, where you would hold on to four players from the roster you inherit. This one is $50 with a $300-$200-$100 payout.

The other is an $80 redraft league. Draft date hasn't been set but it will likely be March 18 or 19. Payouts are $480-$320-$160.

There are two spots available in each league, and I intend to fill them all by the end of the weekend, so if any of you guys are interested, please PM me.

FYI - these are normal snake drafts, no player values or auctioning is involved.
