Overview
- Scott Boras said he has spoken with owner John Middleton and baseball chief Dave Dombrowski about adding years to Bryce Harper’s contract, with no deal in place.
- Harper is eight seasons into a 13-year, $330 million pact that runs through his age-38 season and includes no opt-out.
- The 33-year-old opened 2026 with a .139/.205/.333 line in his first 36 at-bats, sharpening scrutiny of his current value.
- Dave Dombrowski previously said Harper had not delivered an "elite" season, and reporting indicates the club may wait for stronger results before committing more years.
- The Inquirer pointed to the recent Cristopher Sánchez rework, which added seasons and deferred money, as a potential model to spread risk on any Harper extension.
