The prospect of watching Bryce Harper take the field at Nationals Park in a visiting jersey is one that isn't just bemusing to most baseball observers, but Harper himself.
"That's weird," Harper said on Tuesday in an interview with The Washington Post. "And who wants to see that? That's really weird."
In one of his first interviews relating to his impending free agency, Harper told the Post that he would "absolutely love to be" in Washington long term. Harper established himself as a fan favorite and the face of the franchise -- if not all of MLB -- while leading the club to four postseason berths since he was selected with the first overall pick in 2010.
