Philadelphia Phillies star first baseman Bryce Harper was in the headlines on Wednesday morning after his plea for help to the organization ahead of the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline.
Harper’s comment was not received well from Phillies brass, and they’ve put him a bit under fire in the day following the remark.
Don Mattingly sounds off on Harper
Philadelphia manager Don Mattingly was asked about Harper’s comments ahead of Wednesday’s game and his response certainly reflected some displeasure with his star.
“When you say something about our team, then you’re saying something about one of our players that you don’t like,” Mattingly said, via reporter Tyler Boronski.
