Philadelphia Phillies Slugger Harper to Move Family to Tennessee Following MLB Season
Philadelphia Phillies superstar Bryce Harper and his family will have a new offseason homestead come the conclusion of this year's MLB season.
Harper, who is from Las Vegas and has spent every offseason there, will be moving his family to Knoxville, Tennessee according to USA Today.
Nightengale also noted that a number of MLB players are making their offseason residences in Tennessee. Presumably due to the lack of individual state income tax, mild winter weather and plenty of things to do ranging from outdoor adventures to the big city of Nashville.
Additionally, in the same article, Nightengale noted that Harper should begin playing first base after the MLB All-Star break which should allow Kyle Schwarber to move to the designated hitter position.
That of course could lead to the team acquiring an outfielder at the MLB trade deadline. We will have more on that in a later article, so please stay tuned.
