CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Bryce Harper is bringing his superstar firepower to the Phillies.
Multiple sources told MLB.com on Thursday afternoon that the Phillies and Harper have agreed to a 13-year, $330 million contract, pending a physical. The Phillies have not confirmed the deal, but once completed, it will be the most lucrative guaranteed contract signed in North American sports history, eclipsing the 10-year, $300 million contract that Manny Machado signed with the Padres just last week and the $13-year, $325 million contract extension that Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton signed with the Marlins in 2014. Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez signed an 11-fight contract worth $365 million, but the contract is not guaranteed.
