Multiple sources have told me that the #Dodgers have checked in on availability of Bryce Harper. #Nats are still undecided on if they want to sell, but if they do, LA is a likely destination.

amazing to think we may be less than a week away from the end of Bryce Harper as a Washington National.

Philly Boy. Loves his Phillies and Eagles. He got into hot water for many of the statements he made during the last market meltdown. I believe for conflicts of interest. Somehow he survived. Take any of these guys on tv with a big grain of salt when making financial decisions.

I learned much from Cramer years ago when his show was getting off the ground. He gave some good tutorials. I don't watch anymore, so perhaps he still does that stuff. At this point I think of him only as an entertainer.

Damned shame it's come to this...from all aspects...

Even if this is just an attempt at a power play by Rizzo...

Somehow, I think the old man didn't want to be a party to this...and that's why he ceded to Mark when he did. But he's in Real Estate, and the first rule of Real Estate is not to fall in love with the Real Estate...

If Rizzo can pull off getting Keibert Ruiz for Bryce Harper, he's the greatest GM in the history of baseball.

Rizzo said he's going to wait until the end of the weekend to make buy/sell decisions. Isn't that cutting it a bit close to the deadline?

(I'm happy that he's at least entertaining the thought of selling.)

He ain’t getting rid of Harper because we ain’t going into sell mode because we are going to win games moving forward.

I don't think those two are mutually exclusive where Harper is concerned.

Not really. A lot of deals come together in the last day or so. That said, dozens of potential deals for players will be discussed over the weekend. The Nats probably floated that the Dodgers would like to deal for Bryce, as that makes the Diamondbacks and everyone else in the playoff mix get their own potential trade scenarios going.

The last hours. Rizzo already has tentative deals in place. Now its waiting and negotiating.

Good point. You move Harper this year, you have an OF of Soto-Taylor-Eaton until Robles is ready. Robles is already looking good since he's been back. That's not a white flag. If you have a minor leaguer you've decided to give time to, and he is high end, you can still do well. Best example is the 2015 NYY and moving McCann to make room for Sanchez.

We trade Harper, we win the division.

but, getting rid of Harper, wouldn't be indicative of selling, or giving up, as it would just be the right move to get this organization over the hump...
