Ridiculous Bryce Harper ask should kill any Dodgers trade rumors in the cradle

Dodgers Way argues that the Los Angeles Dodgers should immediately dismiss any trade rumors regarding Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper. According to reporting from Ken Rosenthal, Harper would likely require a contract extension to waive his full no-trade clause for any potential trade suitor. Writer Katrina Stebbins notes that demanding an extension on top of his existing five-year, $125.7 million commitment makes a pursuit impractical for Los Angeles.

The writer emphasizes that the Dodgers need to prioritize getting younger this offseason rather than sacrificing prospects for a 34-year-old veteran. While Los Angeles possesses the financial resources and roster flexibility to acquire Harper, Stebbins believes team president Andrew Friedman will avoid a deal, especially with existing veteran Freddie Freeman already occupying first base.
