The MASN All Access podcast released a show on April 27 titled “Matt Harvey is becoming tradable.” The episode came out far too late to be considered an April Fool’s joke, which leads us to believe they were being serious.
I’m not bringing this up to take a shot at Paul or Brendan—the two do an excellent job from inside the warehouse—or for some type of old-takes-exposed moment. I’m referencing the episode because it exemplifies something important. It shows that Harvey resembled a major league pitcher for multiple stretches during the season.
The Orioles signed Harvey to a minor-league deal in the middle of February.
