South Jersey product and noted Philly sports fan Mike Trout, who also happens to be the greatest baseball player on the planet, was asked about Bryce Harper’s free agency process and had this to say:

The rundown:

Trout is happy for Harper, Philly will love him if he plays hard, and some “aw shucks” stuff about his own impending free agency after the 2020 season. 

Perhaps more of note is this:

That, friends, is a guy that wants to leave his options open. A guy who could be easily sold, particularly by someone who is ready to sell:

While I swore to myself yesterday that I would take a break from obsessing over what could be for at least a day or two, that’s just not going to happen. Not after this spicy little buffalo nugget from Jim Bowden, which you can listen to after the jump.

I dare you not to soil yourself.

Harper. Trout. LeVeon Bell. Bring me all of them. What are these feelings that I feel? Is this…could it be…happiness?
