Michael Wilbon drops shocking take on Bryce Harper’s future in Philadelphia

Another harsh comment directed at Bryce Harper, this time coming from one of ESPN’s most outspoken voices, Michael Wilbon, who did not hesitate to suggest what could potentially happen to the star even before the start of the 2026 season with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Michael Wilbon is known for delivering opinions and analysis that often spark controversy and sometimes border on the improbable. This time, he said he would not be surprised if Bryce Harper does not begin the 2026 season with the Philadelphia Phillies, a take that is unlikely to sit well with fans.

The report was shared by Phillies Tailgate on X: “Even though Dave Dombrowski said he isn’t going to trade Bryce Harper, Michael Wilbon stirs the pot and says that he “wouldn’t be shocked if Bryce Harper is traded before Opening Day.” What are we doing here? ESPN cannot continue to let Wilbon put out horrible takes like this.”
