caulfield12 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Indians and Mets (what?) two highly-interested parties. Go ahead, CLE, losing some more top end talent can only help the WS unless they somehow win the World Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I could see the Phillies going after him. Can't see the Cubs going after him, as it would be a big downfall to their defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to Red Sox/Phillies...or maybe I wasn’t paying close enough attention and it was Philly? “Of all the teams, the Cleveland Indians make far and away the most sense. They desperately need outfield help. They could absorb the remaining $7 million or so of Harper’s salary. The issue would be the prospect cache the Nationals would demand. They could ask, rightfully, for something similar to what the Dodgers gave the Baltimore Orioles for Manny Machado – and the Indians, an organization that thrives because of its ability to produce homegrown talent, almost certainly would balk at mortgaging some of its future for a rental in a league with the Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and Yankees playing as well as they are.” Jeff Passan Dodgers and Yankees can’t afford to go over the luxury caps...

He looked really talented- made a few mistakes, but he threw a lot of great pitches. I'd love to move him out of this division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dam8610 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Just now, Jose Abreu said: I want to see Alec Hansen face Zack Collins in a 3-2 count. (I think someone else said this the other day) Your scenario is extreme high variance, mine is extreme low variance. As for Harper, I'd send a better package than what the Dodgers paid for Machado if it gave an extension window wherein the deal would be null and void if no agreement were reached. So, basically, it's not going to happen, try to pursue him in the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The Astros, without Altuve and Correa, really could use a bat. They are no lock for the division. They could use Harper...although imo, they could use Avi or Abreu even more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Some crazy news here, but IMO a very smart move by the Nats to make him open to trade. Try to cash in on something, their season is likely lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 A team that wants to sign him long term should agree to the window and the 72 hour signing period. This is where I think the cubs could come into play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I think the cubs could come into play. There's what, 8 hours until the trade deadline? No team's going to get a negotiation window, those things almost never happen anyway but they're not going to be able to consummate a deal on August 2nd if they get the contract agreed to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Lmao that idea gets thrown around like that actually happens frequently during the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Bryce Harper is not signing a contract extension now with anybody. Zero chance. Unless they offer him 10 years, $500 million, which no one is gonna do before the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
