Yeah, the contract has to stay within a percentage of the AAV. I don't remember the exact percentage but it's pretty small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I would imagine ultimately these contracts will have some big deferrals to make them look a bit larger than "current day value". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 There’s really no reason at all to get excited about any “done deal” tweet that isn’t Rosenthal, Morosi, or Heyman at this point. It’s possible that some random will break it a day early, but there are so many random weirdos trying to guess correctly to earn their 15 minutes of fame, that every tweet you see must be treated as 100% meaningless. We won’t know who had it right until it’s already done, so there’s nothing to gain from speculating on these guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something does finally happen then its over with. Win win... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Vision Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I find it at least believable that the Machado deal could end up being around 8/240. I don't find it believable that Harper's deal could be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 The only reason I'm even giving this tweet the time of day is because of the guy's track record of breaking stuff and the report that Harper has decided on a team (which seemed like it wasn't the Phillies given their press conference today). I don't think he's right, as if it were "done" like he insists, it would likely have been announced by now. It's just interesting to me is all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
