Bryce Harper ‘stood nose to nose’ with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred in angry clash over salary cap
Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper reportedly ‘stood nose to nose’ with Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred over a heated clash over the league’s salary cap.
The confrontation took place last week between one of the biggest faces in the sport and the commissioner during a meeting between the Phillies and Manfred.
Harper was reportedly enraged, per ESPN, about the possibility of Manfred implementing a salary cab in MLB, which would limit how much players could be compensated.
“Get the f*** out of our clubhouse,’ Harper reportedly said during the heated incident.
Manfred conducts individual meetings with each of the 30 MLB franchises each season. The meeting in Philadelphia lasted more than an hour.
When exactly during the face-to-face Harper jabbed at Manfred is unclear, with the commissioner not expressly saying the words ‘salary cap’. The discussion of baseball’s economics reportedly led to Harper’s comment.
