And so, after Davey Johnson made his intentions to sit Bryce Harper for the rest of the weekend clear on Friday night, Harper sent a joking text to Davey demanding a trade:

Harper played. Harper made a difference (1-2, 3 RBI, walk, game-tying sac fly, great catch). Harper was "pretty serious" about what he texted to Davey (pffft!):

He reiterated that sentiment in his postgame interview on MASN (video here).
Meanwhile, Bryce Harper has been voted-in as youngest All-Star starter ever...
