“Moronic to Not Have a Season Next Year”: Phillies 33YO Star Makes Feelings Clear Over MLB’s Impending Lockout

Bryce Harper is already predicting a complete shutdown in 2027. His teammate Garrett Stubbs, however, believes the situation could play out differently. The countdown to another MLB labor war has already begun, and the league’s biggest concern may be that its players are no longer willing to back down. While Philadelphia Phillies star Harper has made his pessimism clear, backup catcher Stubbs has offered a different perspective, challenging the growing certainty surrounding baseball’s next labor battle. While the salary cap remains a non-negotiable issue for the MLBPA, Stubbs believes a year-long lockout can still be avoided.
