The sun has started to arrive in Scottsdale, and the stove is even hotter for the Giants. It might be even brighter in the team's clubhouse.
Why? Bryce Harper.
Giants CEO Larry Baer and president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi reportedly met with Harper in Las Vegas on Tuesday, and sources confirmed to NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic that the team has discussed a 10-year contract with the former NL MVP.

And it's safe to say Giants starting pitcher Derek Holland is excited about possibly adding the superstar free agent. The left-hander might know something as well.
As Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic points out, Giants players believe they have a real chance of playing with, not against, Harper in 2019.
This could be good for Holland in another way. Harper is 0-for-2 against him, and there's nothing better than bragging rights, especially with your own teammates.
