Brantley going to the Astros, 2 years 32 million

Post of the thread

Amplified by x50 if Harper signs with the Cubs to go along with it

He elaborates in the comments that his source is a big leaguer.. one he has little faith in.. strange

If thats true then Hahns comments about money isnt everything make more sense.

There are a few options, and the giants wouldnt be taking on the whole contract. They could trade 1 of Happ, Schwarber, possibly Almora. Looking at the Giants outfield last year they were horrendous. Heyward and any one of the above would drastically improve it. Is it smart? Hell no, but dumb trades happen all the time. Im just saying its a possibility.

Thanks for the correction, and good points by others that this is a different gm.

A team like the Giants, who for some reasoned signed Longoria and McCutchen last year, would definitely be up to trade for Heyward, a portion of his contract and a couple of mlb ready talent with higher upside. I dont understand why this is out of the question to you all.. its not like a creative 'win/win' trade couldnt be worked out.

The White Sox are a terrible franchise in the eyes of the media and national baseball fans outside of a small niche in Chicago. Its best to stay away from any news coverage about us as it might increase a likelihood of developing an inferiority complex.

I dont blame him at all, if I were Harper and that was my goal I wouldnt want to sign here either. Our top prospects have failed (yes, failed) SO FAR at the MLB level.

A 5 hour meeting, what can they talk about for that long?

Nothing will happen in december.

Overrated Boston player, hopefully we stay away

Then why didnt you post about it last a few days ago? Funny how you leave that out until someone else mentions it.

The most overrated player, pumped up by the media. No thanks

Im in complete delusion, but i think we are getting Harper.

Cubs sent whole minor league operations to Vegas, including athletic trainers.

From what i remember he was, but with hindsight and this being 2 years ago i cant be too sure. The media mainly focused on the poor red sox at the time.

So surprised a bigger fiasco wasnt made of that.. and why didnt our FO fight tooth and nail to reverse that trade

You guys got trolled by soxmania06

Just to recap, this peavy poster posted: -Harper hates philly -Sox offering largest contract More news when?

Im sure a lot of teams have checked in.. this doesnt mean anything

Interested in what the Cardinals give up here.
