Because back when Harper was a free agent, when he openly loved the idea of wearing pinstripes, Brian Cashman, yes, the same Brian Cashman still running the Yankees, needed a first baseman. And he said Bryce Harper playing first base wasn&rsquo;t realistic.<\/p><p>Fast forward to 2022. Harper injures his right elbow, gets shut down from the outfield, and suddenly, look at that, he&rsquo;s playing first base.
