Bryce Harper will eventually sign with the Philadelphia Phillies

If you were to ask me straight up, [Harper goes to] Philadelphia. Philadelphia... Because it's 212 feet to right field, 279 to center, and 175 feet to left. So he's thinking Hall of Fame.

Bryce Harper signed a massive free-agent contract with the Phillies in March 2019.

Being a great clubhouse guy means having no ego and not intimidating teammates

I'll tell you what makes a great locker room guy: immediately when you're hung like the light switch in the off position. Got it. So I think that immediately lowers a lot of stuff... When you care about guys and truly care about them, you want guys to do well.

The value of clubhouse chemistry is a subjective and debated topic in sports analytics.

The Cubs win the World Series if Jake Arrieta returns to his Cy Young form

The Cubs win it all if Jake Arrieta pitches to his Cy Young form, even give me the 16 version of Jake Arrieta. If he steps up and becomes that guy, because they need him as that guy.

The Cubs lost in the 2017 NLCS to the Dodgers.

Theo Epstein is smarter than most GMs because he trusts his instincts and asks players for feedback instead of just relying on spreadsheets

He's way smarter than a lot of those guys. Just because you're in this certain job title, there's not a whole lot of instincts going on in some of these places, bro. Theo has a unique gift of knowing boys club, of knowing clubhouse stuff... he goes out and asks players for things. Do you think this guy's good?

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens definitely belong in the Hall of Fame

Barry Bonds? Yes. I think yes. Roger Clemens? Yes.

Both players have failed to be elected by the BBWAA, though their inclusion remains a major point of debate.
