The Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, and fellow NL East foe Philadelphia Phillies all have higher odds to sign Harper than the Nats.
The Cubs are the overwhelming favorite to sign the six-time All-Star, with even odds right now. Rumors of Harper going to the Windy City are not new, as the possibility to reunite with Little League teammate and close friend Kris Bryant while playing for an annual World Series contender is widely intriguing to him.
After the Cubs, there is a tremendous dropoff, as the Dodgers have the second highest odds at +500. The Phillies come in at +550 odds, while the Yankees are just slightly behind them at +600.
The Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Angels, and San Francisco Giants are all long shots to land Harper.
While it is way to early to have a good idea where Harper will play next, the Bovada oddsmakers have one clear favorite.
MLB Free agency begins on Nov. 2.
