If that's the case I would switch it. I still think Harper would be the better option for the Sox. I'd take either though.

Correct.

If a players gets injured his contract is still guaranteed. Once he hits the MLB he is guaranteed to make around 1 million per year. Playing poorly does not constitute risk as he has total control over it.

To make it more fair with risk/reward for both side, institute a salary cap and floor but also make the player contracts non-guaranteed like football. Now both sides will have a little skin in the game.

Compensate players properly? Compared to what? The players have absolutely no risk, the owners do, and get paid astronomically numbers. Both of these players will make 30 million dollars per year with absolutely no risk to their earnings.

Yes. I've said all along the worst thing that happened to the players was the Cubs and Astros winning. It showed teams that fans would tolerate losing and going young to rebuild . The rebuilds worked the fans returned and it was done with you g controlled players with a couple of the high end players thrown in. Mid range players are squeezed out.

He's reporting it from them hoping he gives them the Manny scoop later.

Yeah. Typing on the new tablet. It's taking some time to get used to. Many typos that I need it edit.

Could this be a way for Boras to get his feet in the NFL? I'm not sure if he has clients there yet.

It's probably the first official starting offer. It has and will continue to go up with negotiations.

I don't think there will be any other significant moves. Let the rebuild breathe.

There is the "she started it" defense.

Have you seen him and Machado together? Maybe he is making his final decision.

Agent overplayed their hand.

Conversely, are the cheered and revered if they do sign one?

Because people will be more disappointed if they raise their hope. Haven't you been following the threads. Hahn and KW came out positive, they should be fired if they don't make the deal.

Should have been before. A quality addition to the music posts.

It was sarcasm. He would be unexciting but fine depending on the the contract.

True. However, I don't think this is a common case where it's a significant amount. This applies to Machado but not Harper this year.

Yes it is. Frank Baum, writer of the Wizard of Oz had a lake house on the lake we do. Urban legend about did he name the dog after the town.

I know. I was kidding. My family has had the cottage since the 60s.

I drive by it throughout the summer. Too scared to stop though.

Wait until you hit 50s. Its alternating running and lifting in order to recover. Definitely only one day per week per muscle group.

I'll take those.
