Summary
Don Mattingly publicly fires back at Bryce Harper for pressuring the Phillies’ front office, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber believe the stunning response exposes a relationship nearing its breaking point. With Philadelphia struggling and Harper still seemingly angry over past criticism, Evan predicts the Phillies could seriously consider trading their superstar. That possibility leads to a wild New York blockbuster: Harper for Francisco Lindor. Evan and Tiki debate the contracts, roster fits, Juan Soto dynamics and whether either team would actually benefit, while acknowledging the deal could end disastrously for both sides. They also revisit the Yankees’ extra-inning failures and why Aaron Boone’s team must embrace bunting and fundamental baseball.
