Which also doesn’t have to be taken at face value. We have no idea who that person is, who the “HS Friend” of Harper is, and if this person giving this report is truthful. 

Again, people can believe whatever they want. But people have every right to call BS as well.

Bingo. Been on this board long enough (you as well Tony) to give a poster the benefit of the doubt (and I've seen a poster here break news who rarely post here as well as a couple others who are more regular i.e. rabbit, Rock, etc) Can't give Peavy44 that benefit yet with his posting here in the past.

What I believe you're missing is that peavy44 was not the source. He was just passing the source along. That said, you can still question the source all you want, but there is a big difference between a guy referencing an outside source and then imploding versus a guy making his own claims without outside support... and then imploding

I agree, but I’d argue he did more to his own “demise” than anyone else here :) 

My take on the entire Harper saga is no one outside of Bryce and Boras know anything. Teams have submitted their initial pitches but as we all know, money will be the ultimate factor. And things can change in an instant. I get it, it’s fun to speculate and dream, there is no harm to it. But the current talk about what Bryce is “feeling” seems like more fiction than fact. Just my $0.02.

Preach.

Actually I disagree. I think the teams truly interested will offer very similar contracts, but where he wants to be will top the scales. The Sox and Phillies will match each other to get the game's most recognizable star.

Difference of opinion then. I believe someone will step up and make a ridiculous offer that truly can’t be turned down.

That is usually how these work. Someone blows away the competition. Maybe it is JR. I do appreciate peavy44 sharing what he had, I just think some of it didn’t make sense. I once had a source and was ripped to no end. My source was indirectly JR’s son. I reported the Sox were after Tim Hudson back in the day. Sure enough about a half hour later , Hudson was sent to. Atlanta, so I was a bullshitter.

Responding to the potential interest in Marwin Gonzalez expressed in the Heyman article:

 

Not sure Gonzalez makes sense...but I thought he was older than 30 for some reason (actually 29, will turn 30 before next season).

Definitely could play OF and 1B/3B, veteran presence, lots of post-season experience, the whole question is whether he would be better off on a team that would be contending right away, versus two years from now.

Of course, the usual caveat, depends on years/$$$.  Buy on the dip, or buy into his "over-performance" run in 2017/18 being over?
