WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Wow.
That was Bryce Harper's one word Twitter reaction just minutes after the Washington Nationals traded for Adam Eaton this past offseason. Nearly five months later, the same word still applies. Only now, the "wow" takes on an entirely different meaning.
On Saturday, news broke that Eaton -- who a day earlier injured his leg when he landed awkwardly at first base trying to beat out an infield hit against the Mets -- is out for the season with a torn ACL. It's an absolute bombshell that has unwanted wow factor on multiple levels.
