Another day, another Bryce Harper story—or stories, I should say.
First, Harper responded to the comments he made about Mike Trout on 94WIP on Tuesday.

— SPORTSRADIO 94WIP (@SportsRadioWIP) March 6, 2019Harper told the 94WIP Marks & Reese show, "If you don't think I'm going to be calling Mike Trout in 2020 to have him come to Philly, you are crazy." The Angels have reportedly contacted MLB about the comment, but as you can see, Harper doesn't seem to care.
Second, Harper hit his first home run as a Phillie, sort of.
