Washington Nationals star outfielder Bryce Harper isn’t scheduled to become a free agent until after the 2018 season, but that doesn’t mean Yankee fans can’t dream about his possible arrival now.
Not like they haven’t been already.
During the Nationals–Yankees two-game set last week, chants of “20-19!” and “Fut-ure Yank-ee!” were heard from the bleachers section during his at-bats. Harper collected three hits—including his 20th home run—in eight trips to the plate for his first appearance in the Bronx.
The chants weren’t just empty dreams though. There’s a very real chance that the ultra-talented star—who wears No. 34 because the two numbers add up to his hero Mickey Mantle’s old number 7—could end up with the much-storied franchise.
