Just a crazy, ALLEGED follow-up to that already-wild story from earlier this year about Commissioner Rob Manfred meeting with Phillies players about labor issues and Bryce Harper getting up in his face. Remember that whole thing, with Harper reportedly saying “get the f— out of our clubhouse” if Manfred wanted to talk about the salary cap?
OK, so apparently, there was more. From Newsweek:
‘Those details from ESPN were the only details on the altercation until a new report from sports agent Allan Walsh. During an appearance on “Agent Provocateur,” Walsh reported that, later, a “deputy” of Manfred’s allegedly threatened Harper.
“Don’t ever say that again to the commissioner,” Walsh said, quoting what was allegedly said to Harper. “Don’t ever disrespect him again publicly like that. That’s how people end up in a ditch.”‘
Wut.
That is such an over-the-top, bizarre thing to say, even in a heated moment. I have no idea how Walsh would be privy to that information, but it’s conceivable that other players overheard the comment and passed it along. Of course, that could be a bit of a game of telephone.
It’s mostly just a crazy, possibly true story, but it does underscore just how heated the Collective Bargaining Negotiations WILL be getting. The current deal expires in one year, and the talks will have to get started in earnest within a few months if the sides want any hope at all of avoiding a total breakdown (a lockout is currently expected, not feared).
