The confrontation came in a meeting — one of the 30 that Manfred conducts annually in an effort to improve his relations with every team’s players — that lasted more than an hour. While Manfred never explicitly said the words “salary cap,” sources said, the discussion about the game’s economics raised the ire of Harper, one of MLB’s most influential players and a two-time National League MVP. Quiet for the majority of the meeting, Harper, sitting in a chair and holding a bat, eventually grew frustrated and said if MLB were to propose a cap and hold firm to it, players “are not scared to lose 162 games,” sources in the meeting told ESPN. Harper stood up, walked toward the middle of the room, faced up to Manfred and said: “If you want to speak about that, you can get the f— out of our clubhouse.” 😳😳😳
