Bryce Harper was “really hurt” by the comments Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski made last week questioning whether the superstar could ever truly be elite again.
Harper told The Athletic in a story published Saturday that he has shown “total commitment to my team, and yet there is still trade talk.”
“I made every effort to avoid this,” Harper, 33, told the outlet. “It’s all I heard in D.C. [with the Nationals]. I hated it. It makes me feel uncomfortable.”
Dombrowski told The Post’s Jon Heyman that Philadelphia won’t trade Harper, though Harper told The Athletic that he hasn’t heard from Dombrowski or managing partner John Middleton since the Phillies were eliminated by the Dodgers in the National League Division Series earlier this month. 3
