Off Season Hang Out? Kris Bryant And Bryce Harper Take In A Golden Knights Game

With Bryce Harper only having one year left on his deal with the Washington Nationals, baseball fans across the nation have already begun dreaming about their favorite team landing the stud right fielder after the 2018 season.

Cubs fans are included in that group.

Since June, Cubs fans have begun stalking Harper’s social media accounts to try and find the slightest clue that Harper has some connection to the Cubs. He tagged Rizzo in a photo (Cubs fans lost their shit), he recorded a commercial about Kris Bryant (Cubs fans lost their shit) and you can imagine the reaction when Harper raved about how much he loved playing at Wrigley Field.

Baseball guru Peter Gammons started most of the Harper to Chicago drama in early June when he told 670 the score,

“I have people tell me that Bryce Harper, really, would prefer to play for the Cubs,” Gammons said.

Harper later shot down these rumors but nonetheless, the tease continued. Harper and Kris Bryant’s wives then took to their Instagram accounts during last season’s NLDS and used the hashtag, #HarperToTheCubs, while their husbands played on the field.

Harper really blew shit up when he posted this picture with the hashtag, #Back2BackOneDay.

The thing that really gets me with all this is the fact that even after Harper ADMITTED his post was just a troll job to get Cubs fans all fired up, most of us are still holding out hope that the Cubs can land him in 2019.

Yes, I said us.

I want Harper as a Cub too.

The two were back together tonight when they returned to their hometown of Las Vegas to catch the first place Golden Knights in action.

The fact that they are watching hockey together pretty much seals the deal that Harper will be a Cub in 2019 in my eyes.

Just let me believe it for another season will ya?
