The Philadelphia Phillies star might have a chance to win a gold medal and add to his impressive career.
on their roster. The 31-year-old has made a strong argument to be the best player of the past decade, as he's produced every step of the way. A two-time MVP Award winner, Rookie of the Year, eight time All-Star, and much more, the only thing left for Harper to accomplish in his career is a World Series. Hopefully, that's in a Phillies jersey.
He's signed until 2031, so the chances of him leaving Philadelphia seem low. However, things happen around baseball, and it's always possible that he could ask out, or the team could simply head in a different direction at some point if they aren't contending for a World Series any longer.On a more positive note, Harper has continued to be one of the top players in the game this year.
"Having towering figures like Harper and Judge say they'd love to be a part of it builds 'participatory momentum,' if you will, which makes it more likely that other big names will sign on." Harper has already represented his country multiple times. As an amateur, he played for the 2009 18u National Team and the 2008 16u National Team. He won a gold medal with the 2009 18u USA Team at the CAPBE "AAA" Pan Am Junior Championships in Venezuela. He also won a gold medal at the COPABE Pan AM "AA" Championships in Mexico with the 16u team.
An Olympic gold medal would be the first of his career, which should interest Harper, who'll be 35 in 2028.Jon Conahan has been covering all major sports since 2019. He is a 2022 graduate of the Bellisario School of Journalism at Penn State University and previously played D1 baseball.
