Philly police, fire departments offer to hire Harper, Machado
They are the two most-talked about free agents in baseball, but could Manny Machado or Bryce Harper make it in law enforcement?
Although neither player has reached a deal yet, fans are dreaming about them wearing a Phillies uniform.
Some first responders are having a little fun while the Phillies faithful wait and wait.
The Philadelphia Police Department tweeted a photo of Officer Harper - a photoshopped image of the star slugger wearing a police uniform.
The message reads: "The rumors are true*: Bryce Harper* is coming to Philadelphia [police]*. It's a multi-year deal worth $51,245 per year to start, with a city option to increase annually. Please refer all questions regarding Manny Machado to @PhillyFireDept . (*not actually true.)"
Fire officials re-tweeted the message noting that Machado would earn $52,000 to start as a paramedic and the department is hiring.
