No it isn't Ken Rosenthal said it will not impact signing Harper

That's definitely true

Has anyone looked at Harpers DRS from last year?

This thread is the best

I like he prefaced it with "it may be wrong" to cover his ass. Guy is a joke.

Yes....yes...

My dog was also at that wedding. She can confirm.

Just depends....decent chance nothing happens during these meetings.

I think it's fair for him to wonder if they are wasting their time or not. It's a very valid question.

Jerry sounds like he's being realistic. Hahn and Kenny are just asking for a ton of backlash if they dont get either guy.

Did I just ruin the party?

I dont want to hear the "we tried" excuse either if we miss out.

Someone stole my idea already but I think it'll be James Shields

I mean........I don't know how trading Jose would help with any top flight free agent coming here.

I think if you wanted Harper to seriously consider us...this was a trade you had to make

Yes and no. Yes because I'm being a tad bit sarcastic and I think Hahn strikes out big in free agency. But really I'd prefer just innings eaters at this point. But I think we're a ways away from paying that kind of money for a free agent.

James Shields come on back

I think if we went after anybody this offseason...Goldschmidt for me was the most intriguing so this kind of sucks.

Right that's what seems to be happening. How in the name of Zeus's butthole is Hahn going to convince Harper to join probably a 70 win team next year without massively overpaying to the point where it's an easy choice.

Nats may or may not be out of the Harper race. But I think Id feel better about going after him if we signed a top free agent. Nationals certainly look better today.

Baseball free agency is asinine
