Rizzo was able to figure out a compromise last year with Scott Boras client Stephen Strasburg. Harper, drafted as an outfielder, shares Boras as an advisor. "We are not going to put any timetables on it," Rizzo said Sunday. "We feel with Bryce like we did with Stephen, if two parties want to make a deal, a deal will be made.
