Inhale. Exhale.
Things might be happening Tuesday (tomorrow) with Bryce Harper, everyone. We may finally get the free-agent news it feels like we’ve been waiting for for years, when in reality it’s only been a few months.
Popular video game MLB The Show sent out a very intriguing tweet Monday afternoon that hints that Harper’s decision may come in the next 24 hours on social media. Here it is below, if you didn’t catch it.
This has been just one of many teases that the account has put out surrounding Harper’s decision and the mega free agent has certainly fed into the account and sequentially, our stress around the decision. Harper has been interacting with this account for months, replying to many of its tweets. It's our best guess that he will let his decision be known in this manner.
The game will officially release on March 29, but if this tweet indicates anything, we might be seeing the cover a little bit sooner than that. Like, within 24 hours.

Is this much ado about nothing? It appears the tease for Tuesday could be setting fans up for a major letdown.
MLB
The MLB The Show account has long been playfully posting about Harper's free agency destination, but using him to tease a video displaying simple gameplay graphics is a bad look. We'll see if, in fact, there's no real news to report Tuesday. If that's the case, we think there will be just a few agitated fans who have waited a long time for an answer on the MLB's biggest free agent.
