This is absurd. There is no way that you replace Harper’s production and there is no scenario in which trading him improves the team. None. No team is going to send back anything that approximates his value, because they will want to win this season.
The Nats were not a good team without Harper, Offesnive production took a major hit while he was out and he likely wasn’t up to full speed in the playoffs. And if you want to trade Harper because the Nats haven’t advanced in the playoffs, then you may as well trade everyone.
I basicallly love how everyone wants the Nats to behave as if they are in rebuild because they’re feelings are hurt that Bryce might reject them.
Grumble grumble, declarative statement with no evidence, grumble grumble, ad hominem attack.
