It just a bailing out their bad contracts and allowing the same teams to get better. What’s the benefit? It happens in the NBA a lot too. This never works out for the team on the other end, unless their goal is to hand over titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the Reds would not do it if they didn't think they would benefit. I would think at least now that benefit would have to be pretty big.

whitesoxwinner Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 13 minutes ago, Special K said: As i mentioned before, by making this trade and taking on Bailey, MLB Network explained that through some accounting tricks it actually lowers their payroll for 2019 for luxury tax purposes so it would free up more money to pursue Harper. I think Bailey makes more on the back end or something... The luxury tax hit would still be 17.5 million for next year. Unless they're able to unload kemp in that deal, they aren't saving money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt even Hahn and KW know what's actually happening, as keeping GMs in the dark is part of Boras' negotiating schtick.

Jack Parkman Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I believe that anything reported about Harper and Machado is fake news until multiple outlets report that an agreement has been reached. Everything short of an actual signing is complete and utter bullshit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenericUserName Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 That Bowden report was basically that the Sox have tons of money and have met with Harper and really want him. It didn't sound like he knew anything that wasn't already out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
