PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Do you miss him yet?
Jonathan Papelbon, who was traded in late July from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Washington Nationals, is already despised by Nats fans.
In last Sunday’s game against the Phillies, ironically, Papelbon got into an altercation with the National League’s best player and teammate Bryce Harper. It started as Papelbon told Harper, who is hitting .331 with 41 homers and 97 RBI’s, to run out a ground ball. It ended with Papelbon’s hands around Harper’s neck in the Nationals dugout and a four-game suspension by the team, ending Papelbon’s season.
