But that’s 75. You said it’ll have to be 100-125 more.

So if the Phillies offered Harper 10/350 and the Sox offered 10/440, he would say no to the Sox? That’s laughable.

What’s the excuse for him missing in the heat in Miami and him missing in a dome in Arizona? We now have a miss from 45 in Arizona (dome), from 53 in Miami (hot and humid), 41 vs the Jets (wind and rain), and four short ones vs the Lions (sunny and cold). Where exactly can he make a field goal consistently? The moon?

Why would he go to Soldier Field? It’s not like he has a contract to earn. He got paid already.

Why the fuck would the Sox trade Eloy, a better prospect than Senzel, for Senzel?

Apparently Houston had a deal in place to land Harper at the deadline but the Nats’ ownership nixed it

At this stage I’d substitute Moncada for Madrigal but I agree on the others, although I guess if Colorado offered Arenado for Dunning, Robert and another prospect AND Arenado was open to an extension, I’d have an easy time saying goodbye to Robert.

I suggested $50 a year for the first 5 years in another thread, which would give Harper the ability to leave and get another big contract & the Sox the ability to be VERY competitive from 2020-2023 and it would allow the Sox to keep Jimenez, Moncada, Kopech, etc when they are due for contracts in 2024-2026.

Machado 20% Harper 10%

LeBron, Bosh and Wade chose Miami and took less money.

Eliminate the Yankees as a destination for Harper. Buster Olney says it's not going to happen.

If you don't include 2017 or 2018 since it's too early to make determinations, since 2012 he has drafted two good players (Debrincat, Terevainen), two mediocre players (Hinostroza, Hayden) and one player who might be good (Schmaltz). That's it. The rest of the guys haven't made an NHL impact. If you call a first line player, two 2nd line players and two bottom 6 players in FIVE years "good drafting," that's your prerogative. Quenneville didn't play Murphy because he isn't good. Stop making it out to be "he wanted to get fired and was upset about trading Hjalmarsson." He wouldn't have voluntarily tried to get fired and lose out on millions of dollars. You sound stupid.

What? Bickell stunk his entire career except for the 2015 playoffs. He paid him anyway and it backfired. I’m not blaming him for MS- don’t be an idiot- but it’s not like Bickell was even close to being worth $4m a year.
