Speaking about the upcoming season and the race at the top of the National League East, the Phillies' superstar had a lot to say about the New York Mets.
“Obviously, we’re expected to win the [NL] East,” Harper said, per Todd Zolecki.
“I feel like it’s that every single year. I’m not saying we’re going to, but we’re expected to do that. I want to. This team wants to. Obviously, the Mets got better, getting Freddy Peralta and a couple other guys on that club. The Braves are going to be really good again this year, getting a lot of their guys back. I feel like the East is a juggernaut. We’ve just got to play our game and understand we’re a really good team.”
As things stand, it’s tough to say who is better between Philadelphia and New York. The Mets have improved but they’re also coming off a tough year.
The Phillies didn’t do a whole lot during the offseason and will be looking for youngsters and some veterans coming off injuries to do what they’ve done in their careers.
If the Phillies don’t win this year, they’ll likely have to make some changes.
