The final couple of weeks have been rather nerve-wracking for MLB fans,with rampant speculation and rumors surrounding outfielder Bryce Harper. Up until today, it was unclear as to which team Harper would join, or with rumors mostly focusing on a potential deal with either the Los Angeles Dodgers or the Philadelphia Phillies.
