Bryce Harper Rumors: Giants' Farhan Zaidi, Larry Baer Met with Star Tuesday

The San Francisco Giants continue to attempt to convince Bryce Harper to sign with them. 

Per Kerry Crowley of the San Jose Mercury News, Giants CEO Larry Baer and president Farhan Zaidi met with Harper and agent Scott Boras in Las Vegas on Tuesday. 

Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reported the Giants have discussed a 10-year deal with Harper.

Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reported the Giants are optimistic in landing the star:

Teams still in the mix have been sending key executives to meet with the 2015 National League MVP in Las Vegas. 

Philadelphia Phillies owner John Middleton used his private plane to meet with Harper on Feb. 22. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick that a team contingent, including himself, CEO Stan Kasten and president Andrew Friedman, were in Las Vegas on Sunday night. 

CBS Sports HQ's Jim Bowden said (h/t CBSSports.com's Cody Benjamin) whenever Harper signs his deal, it will be worth more than the $300 million Manny Machado received from the San Diego Padres. 

Harper's free agency has carried over into the start of spring training. The 26-year-old is looking to cash in after he posted a .279/.388/.512 slash line in seven seasons with the Washington Nationals from 2012 to 2018.
