Bryce says during the Phillies postgame radio interview, "I wish I started my career here......"
Nice thing to say. Phillie fans just showed uncharacteristic class by giving Trea a standing ovation.
Not very nice of him, considering his prime years were in DC. Animosity towards Rizzo or the front office, perhaps...?
Its not really surprising that a guy who grew up in a blue collar household doesnt like a city filled with political elites and yuppies
I take what Bryce said as more of a dig at the Lerners than the fans. But why should he not take shots at the fans who boo him. Werth did it when in DC. Don’t look back.
"His prime years?" He signed with Philly at age 26. They have gotten (and still are) his prime years.Its not really surprising that a guy who grew up in a blue collar household doesnt like a city filled with political elites and yuppies
I guess I had the perception that his numbers with the Nats were better on average, mainly due to his best season (2015), posting a 9.3 WAR.
2015 is still easily his best season, but he's been way more consistently great as a Phillie than he ever was as a Nat.
And that is why some teams will open the vault for Soto.
Ironically, the team that would most need Soto going into 2025 to put them over the hump is....the Washington Nationals.
imagine: 1. Abrams, SS2. Crews, CF3. Soto, DH4. House, 3B5. Wood, LF6. Meneses, 1B7. Ruiz, C8. Lipscomb, 2B9. Thomas, RF
Unfortunately for Harper injuries have stolen some of Harpers productivity at the plate and value in the field for two of his primary years last year and this. His home run rate was down last year and markedly down this year. With salaries what they are if he rebounds next year the $25,000,000 will still be a bargain until the backend of the deal.
from what i saw, Bryce's comments were more praising the Phillies fans than a dig at the Nats fans.
He didn’t say one bad thing about DC, the Nats or Nats Fans so stuff the hurt feelings
this.I'm even content with Marky Mark hanging on, tbh. I assume there will be some sort of accommodation within the family if they don't sell, so after 2024 will be splurge time.
The fans just did a great thing for Trea. Bryce isn't a historian, nor does he strike me as measured in the way he expresses himself (bro, where's my ring?). He just was blown away by what they did for one of his best friends and expressed gratitude in his over the top way.
