The Philadelphia Phillies reached a deal with All-Star outfielder Bryce Harper on Thursday for a boatload of money ($330 million) for a lot of years (13!).
While baseball fans were understandably stunned that the Phillies, who are going all in against a stacked NL East, would commit 13 years to Harper (or anything, really), Phillies pitcher Jake Arrieta was ready to welcome his new teammate.
Shortly after the news of the Harper deal broke, Arrieta took to Instagram and shared a welcome video for Harper. He wanted Bryce to know that he was getting the house ready for him. It looked like this …
Oh, just Arrieta in a bedazzled Speedo-like swimsuit sweeping his house to some tunes. Totally normal.
As you can tell, the Phillies are excited.
