Quin Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 1 minute ago, shipps said: The Sox offer with incentives probably is in the 350-360 range with Harper. Guaranteed money is what matters to these guys though. The Sox just can't offer a guaranteed rate. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Time to vent a bit...10 years 330 million guaranteed opt out after 4 years if he says no fine...make an offer you friggen cheap ass bastard Reinsdorf...ok I'm done Edited February 24, 2019 by wegner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Obviously Boras is going to push for 10/$350M, but it’s not happening in this market IMO. Will be interesting to see how high the Phillies are willing to go if 10/$300M was above their comfort level for Machado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) 10-years, $325 million guaranteed. Opt-out after 5 years. Hahn wasted $45 million this offseason. Harper will help earn it back with his brand. I don’t see the problem. Edited February 24, 2019 by Harper2Sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 If the Sox don't pull a miracle here I hope the Padres swoop in again. Maybe that will help teams understand they need to move quickly next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxBlanco Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 24 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I honestly believe there’s a non zero chance we get him, but that requires three things: Reinsdorf preferring Harper over Machado and open to a larger contract for him Jerry seeing all the bad press / outrage over the Manny miss and willing to go a bit bigger The Phillies having a strict valuation range and not comfortable going beyond it I truly believe #1 & #3 could be real things, just remain skeptical the Machado miss would have an impact on Jerry’s decision making. But honestly who the fuck knows. If the Padres could steal Machado from us, it’s possible we could steal Harper from the Phillies. That’s more like it! Lock it up. This is a done deal. I’m 100% convinced we sign Harper by Wednesday this week. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phillies absolutely have to be willing to go up to $350 million guaranteed. Their roster is constructed to compete for the next 2-3 years, and they’re likely to get shut out of the playoffs because their starting pitching is short unless they add one more middle of the order bat. No way Boras turns that down for a shorter deal with SFG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
