I'm hoping they offer it tomorrow and he signs. Let's take out another landing spot for Machado. And if you are the Phillies, you SHOULD be trying to steal Harper away from the Nats. Feed 2 birds with 1 scone. That's a big offer. But I wouldn't be so sure that they wouldn't still go hard after Manny as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 That’s not even $30 million AAV. I don’t think it’s that impressive, nor anything he’d accept on the spot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsOnMintSt Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I think that Harper would take a 12-year, $350 million deal. Like it's been mentioned before, the opt-outs will be interesting. But 12-year, $350 million provides him a contract until he is 38. Also in terms of total money given, I think that would be the largest contract in baseball history.

Yeah a 12 year deal for either of these players just doesn't seem so crazy to me. They would be done at the age of 38. Guys like Pujols, Cano, and Miggy are getting paid until they're what, 40, 41? It does seem like a long time to be paying someone, but compared to those 10 years deals at 30/31, it doesn't seem as bad.

Out of nowhere and under the radar? They have been linked to both quite frequently and at the forefront of conversations just like the Whitesox.

Honestly this legitimately scares me at this point that they are going for both. In all fairness their infield defense was terrible and needed to fill the position, it just helps he is connected to Manny but I don’t think the coach moves the needle one way or another. The stupid money would though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
