Скачать или смотреть Bryce Harper On Being Called "Not Elite", Leaving Nationals For Phillies + MLB Salary Cap? | Bussin'

Recorded: February 9th 2026 | On this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan kick things off talking about the vacation's they are currently on. Will is soaking up the sun in Hawaii while Taylor is up in Canada. The boys dive into into debates about the worst TV endings of all time like The Sopranos and Game Of Thrones.

Then Bryce Harper joins the boys on the bus before heads to Florida for the start of MLB Spring Training. The boys immediately dive into Nashville food scene and Bryce is on the side of Taylor, it could be improved. Bryce then gets into what it was like growing up being coined as “The Chosen One.” He gets into his journey in high school and how he decided to leave high school early to enroll in college so that he could be drafted earlier, which is a wild story. The guys get into some of the unwritten rules about baseball and how Bryce ended up fighting a pitcher which is a hilarious story. Bryce talks about what all went into him leaving the Washington Nationals and what lead him to eventually signing with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Bryce then brings up how the President of Baseball Operations called him "no longer and elite player". He gets into how he felt about those comments and how that isn't something that really motivates him. He has also been very vocal as to why baseball should not have a salary cap and he dives into why he feels that way. The boys also ask Bryce how much longer he wants/plans to continue play and the answer may surprise you.

If you’re into MLB interviews, Bryce Harper highlights, locker room stories, free agency drama, and unfiltered athlete conversations, you will love this episode. As always, bug hugs and tiny kisses.

Get on the bus with NFL players Will Compton & Taylor Lewan! The Boys are letting you in on their hilarious, high-energy (and often heartfelt) conversations. Topics range from exclusive stories to active player perspectives to out-of-left-field hot takes on things you and your friends only discuss behind closed doors. Sometimes they chat with a guest, sometimes it's just the two of them, but it's always a good time when you're Bussin' With The Boys.

And yes, this is the podcast where Mike Vrabel said he'd cut his piece off for a Super Bowl.
