World Series Contender

With the Washington Nationals, Bryce Harper never made it out of the first round of the playoffs and he saw his club’s season come to an end multiple times to the Dodgers. With the Dodgers, he would have his best shot at getting deep into the playoffs as the team has been to the World Series two straight times without him. Given the current landscape of the National League, the Dodgers are the NL favorites to make it back to the World Series.

By joining the Dodgers, Harper would give the Dodgers a lineup that is worthy of competing against the vaunted lineups of the American League. The Yankees, Astros, and Red Sox all have powerful lineups as the Dodgers have seen in the last two World Series.

The Red Sox lineup was so deep that even Steve Pearce won World Series MVP against the Dodgers. Adding Harper to Seager, Turner, Muncy, Bellinger, and Pollock would give the Dodgers one of the best lineups in baseball.
