Pretty sure Boras would hit Harper over the head with the business end of a 2x4 if he wanted to leave $250-300 million on the table to take a 2 year deal.

I think it's especially magnified because of all the misinformation in the media over the least 2-3 weeks. It's been way too speculative leading to a lot of cynical responses.

Still more reliable a report than some.

Lester + Hamels + Darvish + Chatwood is already like half their damn payroll.

I'm pulling for Milwaukee but I bet San Diego comes in with the heaviest offer.

My mother in law found some weirdo reprint signed White Sox team ball at a garage sale. I can't quite make out which year it is, only auto that's legible is Frank Thomas.

I dunno, I feel like the essay is a bit much. ?

"Oh come on, the Cubs can have a $500m payroll!" -Most Cubs fans

One milkshake, 2 straws!

Right? By that logic you can't blame Kenny/Hahn for the shortcomings of all their managers and players over the last decade either.

When the heck did that happen?

Merrifield is a little different a situation. Royals don't need someone that can step in right away like the Marlins want or the Indians need.

Wonder if that'd help fix his speech impediment?

But that's exactly why he needs the ABs.

I'm starting to believe again. Everyone's under the impression we're a pawn but i think the Dodgers are the leverage vehicle here.

That was my initial reaction too. Outside of Palka, theres nobody that needs ABs, nobody we still need a look at.

Tim Brown sure does like to talk about batting average.

You just brought me back to Frank Thomas day where a large chunk of those jagbag yankee fans didn't stand for the ceremony.

Walker Buehler is just as good as both too.

Mind. Blown. I think I just used more periods than he has in his last 300 posts.

Pretty much what the MLB Network guys are saying

They still may be in on Kluber too, who knows.

We should find that Peavy44 post from last weekend where he said the Dodgers were out.

Absolutely. Keep him away from the plate.
