ANALYSIS/OPINION:
WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. — Like a nearby Palm Beach resident, Bryce Harper wants to build a wall.
This is a wall where nothing beyond 2018 exists.
It’s a wall that could be worth up to $500 million — only don’t ask about it.
The Washington Nationals superstar, entering his final contract year, met with those he wants to keep on the other side of his wall — the media — on Monday at Nationals spring training and declared that he would only be answering questions related to the 2018 season.
“I just want to let you guys know that I will not be discussing anything not relevant to 2018 at all,” Harper said to the room full of reporters who came to West Palm Beach to ask questions not relevant to 2018.
