The Phillies are confident that they will sign Bryce Harper as negotiations resume

The Phillies, a few days after losing to Machado, appear to be in the driver's seat to land Harper. They reorganized their lineup this season, adding Jean Segura, Realmuto, Andrew McCutchen and David Robertson. The Phillies improved, but the rest of the National League East also improved. Harper is enough for the Phillies to enter the season as the division's favorites.
