They are all in on Harper and Machado and if they don’t get them, there is probably a plan B. People really need to let things play out and see what happens. Seriously. Alonso has been horrible and Jay hasn’t even suited up yet. It has pretty much been $13 million wasted because the recruiting effort failed. $13 million dollars isn’t nothing. No one is complaining about McCann’s $2.5 million. Edited May 12, 20196 yr by Harper2Sox

It is nothing one none of it is long term money. They didn’t give Machado the extra 50 million because Jerry wouldn’t commit that to one guy not because they signed Alonso and Jay Edited May 12, 20196 yr by mqr

When you have a low payroll to begin with, you can’t afford to burn 14% of your payroll on bums.
