During one part of the interview, Harper spoke about the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Harper: “That’s why I say the Dodgers always do so good… I’m not saying I want to be a Dodger… They do it the right way, because they draft well, they get guys in their organization that are Dodgers… Yeah, they have more money than everybody, I get that but you still have to put pen on paper and go out and play… They run a business… They do it the right way, and so I don’t think they should be reprimanded because they go out and spend money… I can’t be mad at them for what they do.”
