Check out @SchinstalksSox1’s Tweet: This guy broke it yesterday and has had legit insider info. He also broke then signing another outfielder after ervin Santana. He says the Sox are waiting until the final bid requests come in to make their move. Hence them being "out". Going to try to pull what the Padres did to them Who is this guy?

Lillian Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 If he wants to take a short term deal, how about 4 years @ $40 Million per, no opt outs? After 4 years, he can go across town and play with his Buddy Bryant, if he's still a Cub. The Harpers wouldn't even need to sell their house.

If he's signing a short term deal, it isn't going to be with the White Sox. Only reason he would sign with the Sox is 1) they offer the most money and 2) they offer the most money and he hates the idea of spending 10 years in Philly. End of story. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 So would 4 years, @$45 million per, do it? If not, then he must really not want to play for the Sox. We know that it isn't the city. He likes Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I'm thinking the Sox are just about out of this, even if they were trying to be under the radar. One of the Giants or Dodgers will end up offering long-term. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could well blow up in his face, or get him out to another team if they see the opening. Or the offers they claim are there, aren't really there.

I agree with you/ A team like the Dodgers is screwed financially if they do a short-term deal. I think if he ends up in LA, the deal will be like 13-14 years with opt outs to lower the CBT amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
