Bryce Harper's heated exchange with Rob Manfred is met with criticism by Dan Patrick, who expresses feelings of embarrassment towards Harper.

In a surprising turn of events, Major League Baseball (MLB) player Bryce Harper had a heated confrontation with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred last Monday. The incident occurred during Manfred's visit to the Phillies' clubhouse.

According to reports by The Post, Harper interrupted Manfred and used profanity during the confrontation. The conversation between the two did not result in any immediate disciplinary action against Harper. However, Dan Patrick, a sports talk host, criticized Harper's behavior towards Manfred.

The topic of discussion was the salary cap, a concept that the commissioner's office is hoping to introduce in MLB, similar to the NHL, NBA, and NFL. Bryce Harper expressed his disapproval about Manfred discussing the topic during their conversation.

Dan Patrick did acknowledge the possibility that Harper might be fighting for all players, not just himself. However, he found Harper's reaction to Manfred's visit "embarrassing" and suggested a more mature approach to the situation, such as a private discussion between Harper and Manfred.

Patrick also suggested that Manfred should have given Harper a heads up about discussing the salary cap. He did not express any support for the idea of a potential salary cap in Major League Baseball.

In a discussion on his sports radio show on Tuesday, Patrick further expressed his disappointment and embarrassment towards Harper's behavior towards the commissioner. He understood the players' unhappiness with the potential salary cap but found Harper's reaction inappropriate.

Bryce Harper's agent advised him to improve his behavior with Manfred. Dan Patrick, however, suggested that Harper might have shown more respect towards the commissioner, even if he disagreed with the topic of discussion.

The commissioner's ongoing tour includes visiting the players of every team. The confrontation between Harper and Manfred was not the first of its kind, but it has certainly stirred up discussions about the relationship between players and the commissioner's office.
