Aside from the Phillies managerial search, the biggest topic surrounding baseball in Philadelphia is about Bryce Harper’s former team. The Washington Nationals are heading to the World Series for the first time in their franchise’s history just one season after Harper’s departure to Philadelphia.
The narrative out there has been primarily been that Harper signed a gigantic deal to go to a division rival while his former team goes to their first Fall Classic. That statement also leads to the assumption that the Nationals are better off without him there. This discussion has brought up one question. Is Bryce jealous that his former team got over the hump without him there?
