It wasn’t so long ago that here at ESNY, we talked about Bryce Harper possibly becoming a Yankee, both the upside and downside.
Much to #YankeesTwitter’s chagrin, it didn’t happen. Harper signed a 13-year, $330 million megadeal with the Philadelphia Phillies. It took a few years to add some talent around him, but the Phils are the defending National League Champions and two wins away from a second straight World Series.
The Yankees, on the other hand, still haven’t been to the Fall Classic since 2009. And social media hasn’t quieted down since.
