Bryce Harprer will sign a contract with the Dodgers

In spring training, all eyes are on Bryce Harper.

Harper is the biggest free agent yet to sign a contract, and in recent days has been courted by the Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The two teams met Harper in his hometown of Las Vegas. The Dodgers were apparently interested in a short-team contract.

The other big free agent has been off the market since last week's signing by Manny Machado of the San Diego Padres for 10 years and $ 300 million, the largest free agent contract in MLB history.
