Bryce Harper says he signed with the Phillies because they were in it for the long haul
It was Middleton who telegraphed his team’s plans in November when he suggested the Phillies might be “a little bit stupid” with their spending in free agency. Middleton beamed when asked about that comment Saturday.The signing of Harper ended the winter with a flourish for Klentak. Harper joined a cast of new Phillies that includes catcher J.T. Realmuto, outfielder Andrew McCutchen, shortstop Jean Segura and reliever David Robertson.
During talks this winter, Middleton informed Boras that he was not interested in the agent’s research on how Harper might improve the franchise’s marketing efforts. He insisted he did not care about the box office or the television ratings. His eyes were drawn to the standings in the National League East, which the Phillies have not won since 2011."I said, ’There’s only one reason I’m talking to you,’ ” Middleton said. “And that’s because I believe this guy can help us win.
“The maestro wanted to build the championship symphony,” Boras said. “ ‘I want the Harp.’ The Philly Phil-Harp-monic symphony was built.”
