There is no confidential secret. Nationals fans were not happy when Bryce Harper signed with the Phillies for the next 13 years.
Irate might be a better word…with a pinch of salt.
Bryce Harper got paid and had a solid season with the Phillies. His 35 HR were the 2nd most of his career. He finished with 114 RBI, a career high. A slash line of .260/.372/.510 is great when you consider the immense pressure that Harper was under.
Without Harper, the Nationals are headed to the 2019 World Series. That fact seems to be all Nats fans care about.
