I did remember there being something about being on the 40-man. Like the date is slightly later than if a player was called up not on the 40-man (like Bryant).
Yes their chances are great based on the remaining teams (Harper is the type of guy who wants a big market). It's just a matter of if they want to pay up or not. And this is the issue.
So if it's true that he has multiple $300+ million offers in hand, one being the Phillies and the Giants and the Dodgers looking more short-term, who would be the other team?
Just looked at this guy's numbers from last season for the first time. How the hell was this guy not a minor league signing and how did they not find a better backup lol
If they're talking about a record breaking deal, why would he wait? If he decides not to agree to an extension, he can have a serious injury this year. Don't be dumb and take the money now.
