Does Bryce Harper Take a Shot at the Washington Nationals? Or does any Nationals Fan Care any more?
I guess I had to include this story about EX-Washington Nationals RF Bryce Harper and some of his recent comments during a Zoom press conference yesterday.
During the press conference, former Washington Nationals Right fielder Bryce Harper said he feels he can speak more freely and honestly in Philly "I love playing in Philadelphia. I feel like I can be Bryce. They have let me be me"
He said Phillies have never asked him to dial it down. That leaves one major question to think about as Washington Nationals fans. As Nationals fans, do we even care what Bryce Harper said during this press conference two years removed from him leaving Washington D.C.?
Let us know what you think by commenting to us on Twitter or Facebook!

Perspective: The Case For Victor Robles Leading Off
Washington's Lineup is in a weird spot right now. They have a good amount of high-level talent, but it's not as deep as many would like, so Victor Robles might be a good option to lead off. Based on Mike Rizzo's recent comments, it appears that the Nationals are done adding players and they haven't been outwardly linked to anyone who hits leadoff.
Thankfully, they may have the perfect leadoff candidate on the roster in Victor Robles.
