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.

Unless any sources knows they are really close to the finish line, best not to share.

In a couple of years. Lindor has 3 years of control and Ramirez 5.

Not sure I would use the word "amazing" when it comes to a 34-year old Span. Rather just let Palka play.

We must hit 1000 pages.

Part of the reason it was so key to land a whale. Can have a star already by just spending money (not even draft pick compensation) and not have to worry about developing him. Not that this rebuild is doomed, but there's more pressure to hit on more prospects.

Before an injury shortened 2017 season, his minor league numbers suggest that he is a guy who is capable of drawing some walks at about a 10% clip (not great but not bad either). Last year in the majors, he was at about 6%. I'm willing to give him another year to see what he is. Heck, his power alone warrants it. Edit: yes, he's likely nothing special. But if he hits for enough power, I don't mind him hitting 6th or 7th in the DH spot after all the other key pieces.
