Tis the season for Washington Nationals trade rumors. The team’s buying or selling stance is still unclear for now, and we won’t get much clarity until after this series with the Miami Marlins. But it’s reported the Los Angeles Dodgers have checked in on outfielder Bryce Harper.
If the Nats drop the series in Miami, then Mike Rizzo may well consider selling some pending free agents to re-tool for the 2019 season. And obviously, Harper is the biggest name of the group.
On Friday afternoon, Michael Duarte of NBC Los Angeles reported that the Dodgers called in to check on the availability of the Nats superstar.
