So, it’s that time again to rekindle those Bryce Harper rumors.
With the Yankees scheduled to face the Nationals in a two-game interleague series this Tuesday and Wednesday in D.C., the conversation at the ballpark will surely revolve around Harper and his future landing spot as a marquee, standout, superstar free agent.
But has the speculation lost its luster? Are the Yankees still in a favorable position to sign Harper to some record-shattering deal this winter?
A lot has changed since the Yankees last shared a field with Harper.
A whole lot.
Although the timeline only goes back three years, the configuration of the Yankees’ roster was drastically different when the Harper rumors first surfaced.
