Obviously, the hype surrounding Bryce Harper's mystery team in free agency propelled his new Phillies jersey to the No. 1 spot, followed by Aaron Judge, Mookie Betts, Mike Trout, and Yadier Molina.
The Cubs had three players in the Top 20 with Javier Baez (7), Anthony Rizzo (9), and Kris Bryant (15).
If the Cubs can make a deep playoff run this season, rest assured, those Cubs jerseys will be selling like hotcakes and they will all be in the top five again like after the World Series win in 2016.
Last season Baez was third in jersey sales, with Rizzo at No. 6 and Bryant at No. 7 overall.
