Let's start the insanity.
Major League Baseball free agency begins Saturday and the biggest name on the market is not tipping his hand as to where he will end up. Bryce Harper, who many in Philadelphia hope will be playing his home games at Citizens Bank Park next season, is the cover athlete for MLB The Show 19, wearing a black and white jacket.

Dating back to 2006, and including 2008, when Ryan Howard was on the cover, every single cover athlete for MLB The Show has been shown wearing the jersey of the team they play for.

It looks like Harper will probably be incorporating the video game into announcing what team he will be signing his free-agent deal with.
We don't know when that decision will be, but now we might know where to look.
