Harper actually loved his meeting w/ the Sox
Nope. As I said he has every right to do whatever he wants. I, personally, have valued more time with family and happiness over the absolute highest paying job where I knew I wouldnt be as happy. Just a personal philosophy.

no doubt. Also, need to factor in the difference in the amount of money is 50 million worth the 10% of happiness? That is why they are difficult decisions. The comment about the"attitude" of going for the most money not being wrong was what I was referring to.

Those 2 ideas are not mutually exclusive. He very well could have been both.

While he certainly has the right to do it, I would say there is something wrong with that attitude. Sacrificing happiness for every last cent isn't the way I would choose to go. I know that is extreme but as an attitude or philosophy I would disagree.

NFL Thread 2019-2020
I still think they will give Trubiskey every chance to be the QB. He starts the season but has a short leash.

I agree. If someone is saying they are the 29th for power ranking they are a Packer fan looking to create controversy.

Which Team Was Better? 94 or 05 White Sox?
They also knew that it wouldnt last as the production wasnt "natural." Rumormill anyway.

Will There Be a 2020 Season?
Yep. A short season of all intrasquad games would be my guess. Unless they are allowed to "practice" with other teams.

Julio Franco is all that needs to be said. ?

McDowell, Alvarez, Fernandez, and Bere is tough to beat.

Will There Be a 2020 Season?
Because the owners said so. Owners creative accounting where they don't include parking or concession sales because they are technically provided by outside vendors who coincidentally split the money with the owners. i side with the owners more than any other person on this board but even I don't believe the numbers they throw out there during negotiations.

Will There Be a 2020 Season?
I doubt it. There were about 60 million fans in the MLB last year. Even if you are really generous and say each fan averages 50.00, that's about 3 billion. Which is less than third of the revenue generated. The owners may claim that for negotiations but I doubt it would be more than just a few teams, if any.

Will There Be a 2020 Season?
Sure they will. Just not as much. The internet fees alone will probably make a profit. Baseball had over 9 billion in revenue. If they dont operate 30 large empty stadia they will probably make more money.

Will There Be a 2020 Season?
I agree. If the season doesn't get going until late July or so, it's a fun option.

There is nothing surprising about money being the issue. It's a business to make money. However, this is also the reason that there will be baseball. No one makes money if they don't play.

Nagy offense goes through the TE. Ertz and Kelce. I'm not surprised.
