I can't speak for what Cub fans would do, but I'm 99.9% sure Sox fans would pack the ballpark almost every night if for no other reason than to see Harper. He's that much of an attention getter.

None of those guys are on Harper's level. Not even close.

He was meant to wear this uniform.

^^^ I agree with this. Although 400 million or whatever amount they would sign him for is a ridiculous sum of money, he would be well worth the investment. Jersey sales, ticket packages, concessions, etc would all increase dramatically if they signed him. Not to mention the marketing opportunities.

I don't think him following Joel Embiid has anything to do with the Phillies, but that's just me.

Not sure where you're getting this from. As far as I can tell, the only Phillies player Harper is following on Instagram is Rhys Hoskins.

If Bryant had more team control it would be something I would want the Sox to look into. But 3 years isn't long enough for what it would require to get him.

I don't understand what the point of signing Harper would be if they're going to trade Bryant.

He'll probably meet with both the Sox and Cubs this weekend. I'd assume the meeting with the Sox will be at the United Center the day of the Bulls game.

Is there a Phillies equivalent to this forum? I want to see what their fans are saying about this.

1. Moncada 2B 2. Brantley RF 3. Donaldson 3B 4. Abreu 1B 5. Jimenez LF 6. Palka DH 7. Narvaez/Castillo C 8. Anderson SS 9. Engel CF That lineup wouldn't be terrible.

Although not ideal, I wouldn't be terribly disappointed if this happened. It's much better than not doing anything.

Plot twist: they sign both Harper AND Brantley

I asked this like a week ago, but what do you think the odds are of the Sox getting Machado or Harper at this very moment? For me: Machado: 35% Harper: 25%

I would think the Cubs would have to shed Heyward and Chatwood's contract to have any chance of it happening.

Do people really think the Cubs have any chance of signing him?

If Charles the Cat said it, it must be true!

How do you even find these random tweets. Haha.

Harper would just be so great. Imagine being able to pair a legit superstar with a guy on path to be a superstar in Eloy. That lefty/righty combo would be lethal.

I've been registered on the site for awhile but I hadn't started using it again until like a week ago.

28 members are viewing this thread at the same time, wow

I'm trying to not get my hopes up but this is so exciting.

The fact that the tweet was deleted makes me think there could be something to this.

You know what I was trying to say. The Sox could fill 3 or 4 holes with the same amount of money that they would be paying a 29 year old pitcher coming off a career year. They need to avoid Corbin at all costs. It's a no-brainer.

You could sign Donaldson, Brantley/McCutchen, Cahill, and a reliever like Familia for the same price as it would take to get Corbin.
