Logically, Miller’s information would appear to be coming from Boras, who could be efforted to boost the market for his supremely talented but surprising unpopular client,
“I think the Giants now are looking at the Padres going in and the White Sox going in, thinking, ‘Maybe we can get him on a contract that’s maybe a short term,’” Miller said on 95.7 The Game. “I’m hearing that Harper may be interested in a two or three-year deal now.”
“There may be some things changing down the road that allow him to become a free agent (when) there may be better offers down the road.”
“So, I’m thinking that if he signs maybe a four or five-year deal, he’s going to have a couple of outs. But, there’s certainly mutual interest. Harper lives in Las Vegas. Vegas isn’t that far from you (in San Francisco).”
“I’ve heard that if he didn’t go back to the Nationals that his preference was to go to the Giants or the Dodgers. And it looks like it’s possible now and the Giants certainly have a fit with the outfield fit that they have.”
