And no one would disagree with you. But I sort of expect them to sign CarGo or Jones.

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).

I'm sure the MLBPA will have no issue with that.

The Sox can't possibly fuck this up twice in one off-season, right?....Right?......RIGHT!?

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?

Which free agent signings?

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

It's not their fault at all so you shouldn't. No one should.

This all could have been us.

But he already did last night so....

Where in that comment did someone say best ever? He's been a great ballplayer throughout his career.

We need him to be able to play there. Take a look at our best 3B prospect.

Rockies are great about taking care of their own (CarGo, Tulo, Blackmon). I never expected him to hit free agency because of this.

Still doesn't mean people weren't hopeful.

People had hope the Sox would sign him next year. I'm not sure how that isn't obvious.

People are shocked at the price, but a team will be paying Harper a higher AAV for those same aged seasons soon enough.

He's worth more to the Rockies than any other team.

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.

Whenever I saw the $320 reported, it was "$320+" so there was uncertainty there too.

Fuck it. I'm on board with this.

That's true. They had to clear a spot for Howard and were able to shed some salary.

Not letting myself get hopeful. Don't want to be hurt again lol

Helluva jinx.

Exactly why I said that its probably best to wait to post something like that. I won't shit on him but hes opening the door for it.
