The Athletic ($) | Chris Kirschner and Brendan Kuty: Bryce Harper continues to dominate in the postseason, leading the Phillies to their second-straight NLCS appearance, and in this edition of the Yankees mailbag Kirschner and Kuty revisit the Yankees’ decision to sit out Harper’s free agency in 2019. Coming the summer after the team traded for Giancarlo Stanton, Brian Cashman told fans that Harper would be surplus to requirements, as in addition to the incoming 2017 NL MVP, the Yankees had Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks, Jacoby Ellsbury, Clint Frazier, and Brett Gardner to man the outfield.
