The euphoria for the Philadelphia Phillies does not stop, a team that was not considered throughout the season and that managed to sneak into the World Series. This time the team owner jumped on the boat he runs and told his superstar Bryce Harper that he should have paid him much more than the $330 million his contract is worth.
The statement was made by John Middleton, owner of the Phillies, after his team sealed its place in the World Series and from the field itself by winning against the San Diego Padres. “I’m sure I paid you less“, Said the manager to Bryce Harper while hugging him celebrating the great achievement.
