Philadelphia Phillies’ first baseman, Bryce Harper, has no problem with the Los Angeles Dodgers shelling out big bucks on their players.

The Dodgers have a payroll of over $330 million, the largest in Major League Baseball. The magnitude of their payroll attracted significant controversy, but ahead of the Phillies’ series opener against the Dodgers Friday, Harper said that L.A. is an attractive market, so they will continue to attract top talent.
