Bryce Harper met with representatives of the San Francisco Giants earlier this week, 106.7 The Fan's Grant Paulsen has confirmed.
"I can confirm this did indeed happen," Paulsen said on Grant & Danny Wednesday. "Harper did in fact meet with the Giants."
Per Paulsen, members of San Francisco's ownership and general manager Farhan Zaidi were at the meeting with Harper.
The Giants getting in on Bryce Harper makes a lot of sense. That means all three NL, California teams have now met with the slugger. Giants ownership and GM were involved in meeting. Harper's market growing late but is the money climbing?

The #SFGiants recently met with Bryce Harper. Extent of interest on team’s part not known, but they did try hard for Stanton last winter. Multiple new teams emerged in last week or two.
