Philadelphia Phillies owner John Middleton's attempts to reel in Bryce Harper by flying to Las Vegas for a face-to-face meeting came to an end without a deal done.Middleton flew back to his home in Florida on Saturday after meeting with Harper and agent Scott Boras http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , per Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Even though the two sides did not finalize a contract, Breen noted the Phillies "feel optimistic" about signing Harper and that one reason Middleton stayed longer than intended is because both sides were still in negotiations.ESPN's Buster Olney later reported that contract talks between the Phillies and Harper could be "resolved by Tuesday."USA Today's Bob Nightengale previously reported there is "optimism" that Harper and the Phillies will finalize a 10-year deal by Monday afternoon. Nightengale noted Middleton didn't want to leave Las Vegas without securing a commitment from Harper.Harper's camp was also negotiating with two other teams, and there were "more to follow" after Middleton flew out to meet with the 2015 National League MVP, per MLB Network's Jon Heyman.The Phillies, Padres Jose Quintana Jersey , San Francisco Giants, Washington Nationals and Chicago White Sox have been the teams most frequently linked to Harper this offseason. In an interview with NBC Sports Washington on Friday,Nationals owner Mark Lerner indicated Harper wouldn't be returning to the team."Nothing's certainly changed on our end," Lerner said. "We've moved on. As I said back then and we had to. There was no way we could wait around. Bryce I'm sure will make his decision hopefully in the next few days, but we've filled out our roster and like I said http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , we wish him nothing but the best."Heyman added some teams involved in negotiations with Harper have said his asking price for a deal is in the $350-360 million range.If that comes to pass, Harper's contract would be the largest in Major League Baseball history. It would surpass the $325 million deal Giancarlo Stanton received from the Miami Marlins in November 2014.The 10-year, $300 million deal Manny Machado received from the San Diego Padres on Thursday is the largest free-agent contract signed in MLB history.Harper, 26, has been an All-Star six times in his seven MLB seasons. He hit .249/.393/.496 with 34 home runs and 100 RBI in 159 games for the Nationals in 2018. GOODYEAR Dustin Pedroia Jersey , Ariz. (AP) — The Cleveland Indians and two-time All-Star reliever Tyler Clippard have agreed to a minor league contract.Clippard, who spent last season with Toronto, will try to earn a spot in Cleveland’s revamped bullpen. The deal is pending the 34-year-old passing medical tests and may not be completed for several days.“Any time you get a chance to get a major-league pitcher, whether it be a reliever or starter on a non-ability deal it’s kind of hard to not want to bring him in,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “He’s had really strong career Babe Ruth Jersey , he’s held his stuff over a period of time — really nice changeup and the ability to pitch a full inning.“We’re really excited to bring him in and get a look at him and see where it could go. He’ll go right into that mix of that group competing for bullpen spots.”If Clippard makes Cleveland’s 40-man roster, he would receive a $2.5 million salary while in the majors.Clippard went 4-3 with a 3.67 ERA in 73 games for the Blue Jays in 2018. Over 12 major-league seasons, he’s 52-46 with a 3.16 ERA and 68 saves for eight clubs. He’s also appeared in 14 postseason games, three in the 2015 World Series with the Mets.The Indians have two massive holes to fill in their bullpen following the departures of career saves leader Cody Allen and Andrew Miller as free agents.The three-time defending AL Central champions have 11 other non-roster invitee pitchers in camp.
