This past November, in an effort to bolster their veteran depth, The Phillies agreed to terms with two-time All-Star, Josh Harrison, on a Minor League deal — thus patching a glaring hole presented during their disappointing 2019 campaign.
Personally, this acquisition had me excited beyond words. In the early 2010’s, Harrison was a particular favorite of mine. The way he carried himself, how he (and Pittsburgh teammate, Andrew McCutchen) were always able to have fun on the field while, somehow, remaining professional — and, of course, Josh’s famous golden cleats.
See, Josh Harrison is more than some “value at the margins” grab.
