DH in the NL

So because Washington exceeded the luxury tax the signing team for Harper would only have to give up a pick after the fourth round?

We’re you being serious about losing the 43rd pick if we sign Harper?

What round pick would the Sox have to give up if they sign Harper?

So do the Sox!

Bad deal for Mets

The money to pay caliber free agents and not be financially hurt. The farm system like this that we’ve never had before. They don’t have anyone at the moment to build around. The only thing that can’t be controlled in all of this is if they don’t want to play for the Sox.

Or if he doesn’t perform up to the amount he’s getting paid those 3 years hopefully 1 of our outfielders in the minors will be able to replace him at no cost at all. We really have a unique situation right now where we can pay Harper $40 mil for the next 3 years and it won’t hurt us financially. And if a prospect outfielder is ready to take Harper’s spot it won’t hurt us if he takes the opt out after 3.

I don’t know what makes it obvious? I haven’t read anything so far on it being displayed at the game tonight.

Is it safe to say we won’t get an explanation from the Sox or United Center people as to why Harper’s name and number were on there today?

Because that’s what I’m posting for! I’ll give him +100. It’s already been mentioned that ARod signed his deal with a last place team. That would be the Texas Rangers. What was their pitch? The weather in Texas? The $$$ spoke. Harper is ready to cash in. If the offer only comes out to $25 million a year he’s not coming here. Thus, the reason majority on here say he’s not coming is because we won’t spend. That makes me ask “ what’s the point then?”

You used Brian Duensing as an example. That’s pretty solid.

That was orchestrated and a completely different sport. If you want it similar to that example sign Machado first, trade the farm for Trout, and that should “sell” Harper on coming here

Not sure what the shame is? I might be the only one that thinks the Sox will offer $300-$350 million for Harper. I haven’t read anybody else say that.

It has been said by numerous people that he won’t sign with the Sox for various reasons.

There’s no anger. If my point didn’t come across as these pitches don’t mean anything, then I am saying “ these pitches don’t mean anything.” The money talks. That’s it.
