February 24, 20197 yr Mr Harper, let me talk to you about deferred compensation and how tomorrows dollars are worth more than todays. If I could pay you tuesday for your ABs today.

February 24, 20197 yr Time to vent a bit...10 years 330 million guaranteed opt out after 4 years if he says no fine...make an offer you friggen cheap ass bastard Reinsdorf...ok I'm done Edited February 24, 20197 yr by wegner
February 24, 20197 yr Obviously Boras is going to push for 10/$350M, but it’s not happening in this market IMO. Will be interesting to see how high the Phillies are willing to go if 10/$300M was above their comfort level for Machado.
February 24, 20197 yr 10-years, $325 million guaranteed. Opt-out after 5 years. Hahn wasted $45 million this offseason. Harper will help earn it back with his brand. I don’t see the problem. Edited February 24, 20197 yr by Harper2Sox

February 24, 20197 yr If the Sox don't pull a miracle here I hope the Padres swoop in again. Maybe that will help teams understand they need to move quickly next time.
February 24, 20197 yr I don't believe Rick was in Vegas today though, as he was quoted in an article today.
February 24, 20197 yr 24 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I honestly believe there’s a non zero chance we get him, but that requires three things: Reinsdorf preferring Harper over Machado and open to a larger contract for him Jerry seeing all the bad press / outrage over the Manny miss and willing to go a bit bigger The Phillies having a strict valuation range and not comfortable going beyond it I truly believe #1 & #3 could be real things, just remain skeptical the Machado miss would have an impact on Jerry’s decision making. But honestly who the fuck knows. If the Padres could steal Machado from us, it’s possible we could steal Harper from the Phillies. That’s more like it! Lock it up. This is a done deal. I’m 100% convinced we sign Harper by Wednesday this week.

February 24, 20197 yr JR simply put has no balls to agree to a deal on a player of that magnitude, no chance we are in this
February 24, 20197 yr Just now, Jake said: Yes but where was Jerry? I’m sure he was at the Bulls game trying to figure out how to top their utter failure
February 24, 20197 yr 6 minutes ago, Princess Dye said: Who would these other teams be? Seems like Boras is going all in on multiple mystery teams.
February 24, 20197 yr 5 minutes ago, fathom said: I don't believe Rick was in Vegas today though, as he was quoted in an article today. He and Kenny were at the game.
February 24, 20197 yr Just now, Chicago White Sox said: Who would these other teams be? Seems like Boras is going all in on multiple mystery teams. Giants and Padres, if not the Sox

Will be interesting to see how high the Phillies are willing to go if 10/$300M was above their comfort level for Machado. The Phillies absolutely have to be willing to go up to $350 million guaranteed. Their roster is constructed to compete for the next 2-3 years, and they’re likely to get shut out of the playoffs because their starting pitching is short unless they add one more middle of the order bat. No way Boras turns that down for a shorter deal with SFG.

It would be quite something if the Padres shocked the world and signed them both. Are the Phillies essentially the only bidder left at this point?
