PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – It's been 24 hours since Bryce Harper signed with the Phillies and he's already recruiting other professional athletes to come play in the City of Brotherly Love. Eagles fans: how do you feel about quarterback Carson Wentz handing the ball off to star running back Le'Veon Bell?
Bell posted a photo of a direct message from Harper on his Instagram story.
"Aye come join! Let's take this city by storm. Bring as many titles as we can to the greatest city in the world. Brotherly Love. #SecureTheBag," Harper wrote in the message to Bell.
