NL MVP: Bryce Harper, Nationals

Vegas is getting the Raiders. Vegas also is getting three straight NL MVPs (Harper in 2015, Kris Bryant in ’16, Harper again). I don’t know what the heck happened to Harper after mid-May last season, but my suspicion is that his struggles resulted in part from some type of injury. Well, he worked out like a demon in the offseason, and he’s too smart not to figure out the rest.

I nearly picked the Mets’ Yoenis Cespedes; whoever stays healthier, he or Harper, will win the award.
