Rounding third base would seem to mean years and dollars are set but details are still finalizing. Also seems like a lot of smoke the past two days and Bowden just lit a bonfire.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The exact quote is as follows: "I keep hearing there's a lot of momentum and traction here on [Bryce Harper] going and signing with the Philadelphia Phillies. He could be rounding third and heading home shortly." -@JimBowdenGM says Bryce Harper could be making his announcement very soon. pic.twitter.com/WxIFU27… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy is an absolute boob Everyone has been wrong this off-season, but for Rosenthal who just hasn't said anything really. This is the first time he's said it's almost done, and as I said... no reason not to believe him over most of the dopes we've quoted here the past month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Based off past behavior, equally likely that he’s running with the reporting of that Washington radio reporter (Martin?), saying “rounding third” is something he can back track on if it falls through. This takes something that is out there and modifies it a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Well Harper to the Phillies would be the next best thing other than the Sox landing both, the only way I see the Sox not landing Machado is if Harper goes somewhere else and the Phillies get desperate.....

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Bowden said he couldn't confirm it with Boras or the Phillies GM, but he heard it from other people and that he received short term offers from the Dodgers and Giants, but it looks like he's going to get at least 10 years and 300 million from the Phillies.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 White Sox are projected to win 70 games and be 4th in their division - projected to win 27 less games than the Indians. Phillies are projected to win 85 games, and finish 4 wins back of 1st place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lindor misses the entire year, Ramirez starts hitting like the Sox version of Manny and two starting pitchers go down to season ending injuries, AND their bullpen is a similar train wreck to last year. The Braves and Nats should both be right there, but Harper to Philly and away from Wash should make them co-favorites along with Atlanta. And if Cespedes wasn’t bigger than CJ Anderson and not likely to miss the entire season, the Mets might have a somewhat plausible case to compete.

I don't think the Twins will be anything special. Meanwhile, the Phillies have to deal with the Braves, Nationals, and maybe even the Mets.
