Bryce Harper Seeks Contract Extension with Phillies

Star Player Wants to Extend His Current Contract, Which Expires in 2031, to Remain with the Team for the Rest of His Career

Bryce Harper, the Philadelphia Phillies star player, has expressed a desire to extend his contract beyond its current expiration in 2031, according to his agent Scott Boras.
Harper's current 13-year, $330 million contract was the largest in major league history when he signed it in 2019, but it is now the seventh-highest in the sport.
Harper, who plans to play well into his 40s, has been with the Phillies for five years and has batted .284/.395/.536 with 122 homers.
Harper's agent, Scott Boras, has spoken with Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski about Harper's preference for an extension.
Phillies owner John Middleton has stated his intention for Harper to never wear another jersey but the Phillies' and to continue working with the team after he retires.
