My brain says Houston in 5 or 6, but I'd love to see the Nats win it all without Harper. That guy is such an douche canoe. It would make my heart happy if the year he left they win the whole deal.

The Nats were smart to both let him walk, and spend the money on Corbin. Hoping Brian Cashman is reading......

Completely agree. Harper and his flair for being a drama queen were definitely not worth the money. I'd rather have 4-5 other lesser known talents for all that money that have more drive and better attitudes. Look at what the Rays and A's both did this past season. Remarkable, and a product that IMO is more fun to watch. I have a soft spot for "hustle" lesser known players though.

The only thing with the A's model, is it's really proven for getting to the playoffs but hasn't had much success after getting there.

I agree. I think that a WS winning team needs at least a combo of 2-3 star caliber players and then piece the rest together with hustle guys and up and coming talent. That was the Cubs model in 2016.
