Shut it down, folks. Bryce Harper likes the idea of Bryce Harper going to the Dodgers.

Do I *actually* think this means Harper was tipping his hand about where he wants to sign? Of course not. Do I think Harper likes to have fun in these kinds of moments? I do. (I mean, if Harper had liked a post about the Cubs or merely been spotted together with Kris Bryant, well, then THAT would definitely be proof of where he’s signing. Obviously.)
Setting that aside, I do still feel like, especially after their outfield-and-salary-clearing trade on Saturday, the Dodgers are the favorites for Harper. The fit is obvious for both sides, in my view, and the Dodgers have plenty of money. I like that the Cubs are holding out some form of hope, but I’d be betting on the Dodgers right now.
