MLB commissioner Rob Manfred downplayed a reported tense meeting with the Philadelphia Phillies and specifically superstar Bryce Harper while speaking with reporters on Friday in Chicago, where he was in town to announce that the 2027 MLB All-Star Game will take place in Wrigley Field.

When asked about the confrontation with Harper during a visit to Wrigley Field, though, Manfred downplayed the issue with four simple words: "Not all that significant," Manfred said, per Rogers.

Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper had a confrontation with commissioner Rob Manfred during a meeting with the team last week, reports ESPN. Harper told Manfred to "get the f--- out of our clubhouse" if the commissioner wanted to talk to Phillies players about the possibility of a salary cap.
