The rumor mill almost flew off the hinges after talks of the possibility of Bryce Harper getting traded ramped up over the last few days. The Philadelphia Phillies' star first baseman is now front and center of mock trades and the rumors of him leaving Philadelphia.

The baseball world jumped all over it, assuming a shocking change of scenery is what's next to come.
