com and sports radio 94 WIP.

Yo!

It is another edition of the Bryce Harper coming to the Phillies podcast,

Jack Fritz, James Selter coming your way Jack we might get

Bryce Fregen Harper we've talked about a lot I actually I've said many times I thought they were going to get Bryce

Harper but it's becoming real Jack Bob Nightingale with the article that took Philly by storm yesterday says quote unquote you can bank on it Jack. this happening is this real are we living in real life

Jack Fritz I don't want to have premature heart back elation but but I just think it's I think it's a done deal I do too it feels like it feels like the

LeBron thing last last summer where it's like where it's like everyone knows what's gonna

happen but they can't come out and definitively say it's like everyone knows what's going to happen but they can't come out and

definitively say it's going to happen and listen I just want to prepare Philadelphia

like because it's not going to happen for I would think like a month it's not going to

happen to the winter meetings it'll be the winter meetings in Vegas where Harper's from.

It makes all the sense in the world. Exactly. It's going to wait to announce while he's at home in

Las Vegas with like a huge ass press conference. It's going to be great.

Ah, it's going to be awesome. It's going to be great. It's going to be a long month. This is going to be the

longest month of my life. I'm just like waiting and waiting. I'm not looking forward to it.

I, Jack, you might not know this about me. Ask Emily and my wife about it. She'll tell you a lot about it. There is nothing on this planet that I hate more than waiting. I hate lines. I hate being patient. It's just not who I am. I know it's a flaw, but I hate it. I hate it.
