It’s been an extremely rough six weeks for the Washington Nationals. They’re one game under .500 and could be virtually out of the race by the MLB Trade Deadline. However, even if they are, it would be unwise to trade their superstar, Bryce Harper.
The outfielder is having a strange season in 2018 as he’s hitting just .215 and tenth in the leagues in strikeouts. But he’s still a threat in the lineup with 24 home runs, 54 RBI and leading the NL in walks with 78.
Overall, Harper is around a league average player this season, but baseball fans everywhere were expecting MVP level performances.
