Be interesting to see how rickets family handles luxury tax with Bryant getting expensive as well. Would they allocate 140 million to extension for Bryant, machado, and Harper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be a huge part of it, and that's what the org needs to sell him on. Being the face of a franchise and bringing that franchise into relevance and prominence (which will hopefully allow them the money to resign key guys like Moncada, Jimenez, Kopech, etc.) and building the winning culture.

caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Do we actually know what we have in Anderson, Yolmer or Davidson??? Might as well make Leury the starting SS and see what Anderson can do playing all over the field... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the "plus" side, these games against Baltimore and KC give us opportunities to open up some breathing room for the #1 pick in 2019, so there's that.

Would they allocate 140 million to extension for Bryant, machado, and Harper They'd be stupid to try that and even they know it. Next offseason boils down to the Yankees and Dodgers each getting one of Kershaw and Harper, then quite a bit of the league in the Machado derby. The Cubs will likely strike on Kimbrel and a starter early and not go after Machado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
