Wire Taps: Did the Washington Nationals’ chances of keeping Bryce Harper improve with Giancarlo Stanton trade?

Apparently everyone has an opinion on how the Miami Marlins and New York Yankees’ trade for Giancarlo Stanton affects Bryce Harper’s future. Even Harper’s agent shared his thoughts. Scott Boras wrote to Ken Rosenthal after Rosenthal posted a story over at The Athletic in which he listed Harper among the “Losers” following the deal that sent the Marlins’ slugger to the Bronx.

Boras, apparently, we think, if we’re reading it correctly, and we’re really not too sure, challenged the idea that the deal for Stanton, which gives the Yanks two hard-hitting corner outfielders — since they already have Aaron Judge there — takes NY out of the running for Harper if/when he hits free agency next winter.
