While Bryce Harper will be the cover athlete of MLB The Show 19, his decision on where he will sign will not be revealed or reliant upon the popular video game's cover release.
When MLB The Show 19 announced Harper as its cover athlete, he tweeted to stay tuned to "see what uniform" he will wear on the final cover. From there, it was believed that The Show would be the first source to break news on where Harper will play in 2019.
Curious to see if The Show knew something that we did not — given their recent tweets hinting that Philadelphia may be Harper's city of choice — I decided to email Sony San Diego Studio's support team on Saturday.
Monday afternoon, I received the following response:
Hi there,
Thanks for the message. We're still waiting on Bryce to make a decision like everybody else. My guess is that a cover should be ready within a couple of weeks of his decision.
I wish I had more info to share!
Cheers,

So, yes …. while MLB The Show continues to tweet, they will not be the source to break news where the perennial All-Star and Most Valuable Player candidate will sign.
Harper himself is getting involved in the Twitter fun, nonetheless.
