  • Oh look JR and Hahn waited around too long and now Machado at $30mm looks like a good deal & the price on Harper just went up to $36mm per year instead of maybe being able to get him at 10/320.

  • Why are we mad that Nolan signed the extension?  I think it’s pretty cool.

    Many of the rainbow sunshiners tried to use him as a reason it was okay to not get Manny.

Hey, we could use an overpaid old CF.  ?

Jesus can you imagine the numbers he'd put up in Coors?

Plus it's close to Harper's home -- Vegas.  Rox should jump on this like a tall dog.

At least he has a cool Amish/Mennonite beard?

So are we all in agreement that this proves the Sox offer to Machado was not market value?

Arenado got $10 million more in guaranteed money than the Sox offer to Machado and Arenado only had the option to negotiate with one team.  If he hits free agency, he likely gets more than $260 million from some team.

The Sox need to nut up and sign Harper to make up for their embarrassing Machado negotiations.

But arguably most valuable to that franchise, right?

Maybe we can put a butter churn in the dugout.

And a bobblehead night, if we can manage to find enough corporate sponsors this season...

Who cares?  More than one team is always better for negotiating?  Just like job offers.

Well, in the end, the MLBPA can't force every single player into free agency.  They're getting some nice baselines set here by Machado, Harper and Arenado.

Arenado's obviously content with the Rockies and feels at home there, no need to go through that process (and there's certainly a good chance if COL isn't competitive that he does elect free agency when the opt out year kicks in...)

They're not gonna have a chance with Trout... so yeah... this is the one. Get it done. Let daddy Boras take you to the cleaners. 

Wasn't a poster here promoting the 2021 class? ?

Wow, this deal gets better and better for Nolan.

So after 3 years there are a series of five 1 year player options?  Wow.
