There's still like 5% of me that wishfully thinks we swoop in and get him in the end.

 

Picture how horsefeathering awesome it would be to actually see that play out and have him show up at spring training in a couple weeks.

I can't wait for their attempt to disguise it.

 

Red Bull PR guy: hey high schoolers, you excited to meet Kris Bryant? We're gonna have you throw BP to see if any of you can strike him out!

 

Kid 1: That's Bryce Harper

 

Red Bull PR guy: How about you, you excited to face off with KB?

 

Kid 2: He's got a huge beard and he's swinging left handed

 

Kid 1: His jersey says Harper on the back

 

Red Bull PR guy: GOTCHA! IT'S ACTUALLY BRYCE HARPER, HE SIGNED WITH THE CUBS, WOOOOAHHHHHHHHH

Having him show up at the Convention didn't happen, so we might as well hope for spring training. If that doesn't happen, we can hope for opening day.
