ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The biggest clue of all IMO is the picture of Harper wearing the Bulls hat he posted the other day. I do not think that was coincidental at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if there is any truth to the Cubs being strapped for cash, and if I'm another team I don't help them get Harper at all. Make them suffer for their bad contracts.

That would make more sense if the Cubz colors were black and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Word is the Giants have been long-focussed on Harper and will be serious bidders. I expect the Sox will put out a modest initial bid at maybe 5 x 30 before things get real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the Kapman link. A few minutes over there made my day. They’re still talking about Heyward’s World Series speech. That’s the biggest yarn ever perpetrated on the baseball public. Why didn’t he pull that speech out for game 163? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Harper and Bryant have the same agent, Boras. Bryant will be a free agent in 3 years, so the Cubs would have to give Harper a 3 year opt out so that he can follow his buddy somewhere.

caulfield12 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 That 3 year opt out would make a ton of sense for the Cubs, actually. They're going to have to do a complete rebuild/tear-down at exactly that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to have to do a complete rebuild/tear-down at exactly that point. Maybe? I mean, it depends who they are willing to pay. It's definitely going to get serious consideration and is clearly expected by Theo and company as their moves have depleted their farm system for the here and now. Interested to see if they wind up surviving the lack of pitching development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
