ANALYSIS/OPINION
Shortly after the news broke Wednesday afternoon that the Washington Nationals had traded two of their top pitching prospects to the Chicago White Sox for outfielder Adam Eaton, Bryce Harper tweeted, “Wow.”
Not exactly, “Where’s my ring,” is it?
Now, Harper could have meant all sorts of things by that, none of them related to his team’s trade for Eaton. He could have been walking by a mirror, got a look at himself, and said, “Wow.”
But based on his Twitter feed, the responses that followed interpreted it as a reaction — a negative one — to his team trading such valued young pitchers like Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez, along with another young pitcher, Dane Dunning, for … well … Adam Eaton.
