You know what happens to any team Bryce Harper signs with? They become a national brand.

This would be number 2 on my offseason priority list outside of signing Harper.

Loving this idea, lets just sign/trade for all of Harper's buddies.

I don't get it but I'm not going to get mad about it because it doesn't mean a damn thing.

Agreed completely.

Me too.

Why you gotta throw shade at D.Rose?

Yolmer and Timmy have fun?!? Never!

I'm so for this.

This. We all know Bob has been Kenny's mouthpiece for years but I'm not sure I'm buying it this year with what they've been public with. If they're trying to play the misdirection game, they're doing an awful job of it.

My post was 100 percent because of that. I hated when we traded for Brett Myers and I would have hated signing this asshole.

Pass on Familia.

Soxtalk pays a lot of money to be entertained during the meetings.

I love how some of these threads have become city wars(which I'm guilty of myself). Good times.

lol exactly. Players and agents ALWAYS say that. Means nothing.

The Sox are in a completely different situation these days compared to where they used to be, where the Dodgers are basically in the same place. Your point is obviously valid but there's some differences there.

This post confirms Harper will be coming to the Sox.

Dibs on all the extra money left on the table if Harper takes a 4 year deal.

Cry. Cry a lot.

I'm prepared to go to an AAV of a billion.

None.

Normally I'd completely agree with this but the front office has pretty much set themselves up for that at this point. Will only have themselves to blame.

I just think STL has soured on Kelly. Not necessarily saying right or wrong but that's why I don't think they see this as an overpay. He was also going to be blocked again this year so I think they wanted to use him to get their big bat and obviously Goldschmidt is one of the bigger ones out there.

I’m pretty much on wait and see mode to see how the rest of the offseason plays out. Either way it’s certainly not a bad trade imo.

And for a team like the Sox where Harper might not know what the actual plan is in 2019 it sure makes sense to have that kind of laid out for him. As has already been said by numerous people, no one is saying this is going to be a huge selling point for Bryce but it's sure not going to hurt.
