Also, the good players we want will have to be traded for next year.

U Mad Bro?

Bye Felicia!

If you are going to edit your post, fix all the errors lol.

Peavy44 created a new account?

You almost had a perfect sentence. She handed the check over btw.

Money talks. If he spends they have a great shot. There would be no need to be doubtful.

How is that any different than what will happen in this thread? People will still need to wake through posts by noon.

Nah, Jerry acting like Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost when she didn't want to hand the check over.

Jerry better shut his mouth and open his chase app.

The irony.

Why did you send your wife to get a TV lol.

Lol. Only one of those guys have even played a game with us. Stop it.

Actually I disagree. I think the teams truly interested will offer very similar contracts, but where he wants to be will top the scales. The Sox and Phillies will match each other to get the game's most recognizable star.

If Peavy turns out to be right we should all pitch in and buy him a Harper Jersey haha.

You bring up a good point. Harper would probably rather it go Moncada, Harper, Abreu/Eloy.

Abreu will need to be here to sign Harper and help our young players transition. No point in trading him for a low ranking prospect. His numbers and leadership value warrant us paying him. Now, next year if you found someone better and younger AND the rebuild is going well, then sure.

Exactly lol. They won't be outbid until somebody says 10 years and 250.

I think Harper is done with the Nats. If he wanted to be there he would be there already. The Nats have had great pitching for years and still haven't advanced in the playoffs. I think he wants to build a name brand for himself.

You would front load the contract big time to change his opt out to year 5 instead of year three. Having 5 years of his service is worth it, even if he doesn't return after year 5.

Then we need to offer 375.

That was always the case. I never believed for a second there wasn't interest there from both sides. That is also why I think we seem to be all in on Harper, as we may be able to persuade him to not sign in Philly or SF. None of the blue bloods seem to be THAT interested in Harper at the contract he will get.

We would love for your plan to be in his contract, but he wouldn't like it. Therefore, he would sign with a team that gives him a full opt out after year 3. If you do not want to give a full opt out after year three, you will have to front load his contract big time and give him the opt out after year 5.

Because he is a star and wants the right to leave if it isn't going well. If he likes it here, he won't opt out.

Yes it does. We get him here and for three years. If we handle our business correctly, we will be able to re-sign him longer term. As a fan I love it because it would put pressure on Hahn to succeed.
