MLB Social Media Reacts To Harris News
Here’s what people were saying on social media:
@ProspectSpencer: “Dustin Harris probably isn’t going to be a long term piece but I think it’s a totally sensible claim- Astros could use a corner OF, and there could still be upside in a recently ex-top 100 guy who has bounced around so much between teams and levels.”
@GOT_TXBill: “We need pitching, not another outfielder.”
@el_hombre_rojo: “Look man, when Dustin Harris is available you gotta pull the trigger.”
