I must have missed it, but who reported Harper has decided on a team?

Where is it coming from Harper has decided on a team?  Was it a tweet or something?

A rando.  All randos all the time.

Nah, this one actually has legs. It’s from the guy who got the Harper mystery team and Padres meeting before anyone else. I can’t find the link on mobile but it’s all in the Harper thread

...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. 

Agreed, but even then, what will those 15 minutes of fame honestly get them? This entire "insider" thing is really fucking pathetic. Oh, you know where someone will sign for hundreds of millions of dollars, not a cent of which will go to you? You have a sauce? Awesome! It's like barnacles hitching a ride on the bottom of the fucking Titanic. Parasites.

I read it, so the guy is reporting based on a source of a source that Harper might be signing with the Giants.

 

That would be incredibly stupid for a lefty power bat and that current roster.  Not buying that.

The link posted up-page? That seems to say he is signing with Philly, although its not entirely clear.

I know we all want resolution but when I say I want resolution I really only mean the resolution that ends with one of those dudes on the white sox otherwise i'd rather live in this world where it's possible.

This and this.....

Ha, yeah that's weird, another link from Fathom on the interview said he guessed giants. I haven't listened to the radio interview.

I very much believe the reports that Machado is holding out for $300 million. Why wouldn't he? Have to think that some team, at some point, eventually will just do it. Maybe its tomorrow, maybe its the day before Opening Day, but I think he holds out for that. And if its true that he has offers in the 8-year, $260 million range, I have no reason to think that whoever those teams are offering that, would have no problem adding an extra 2 years and 40 million on to that offer.

He doesn't know the team, he's guessing there, but he does seem to have some Harper edge.

I just don't see them in a realistic scenario for Harper.  That park would would kill his power numbers pretty substantially.  And they suck with a bunch of bad contracts.  But yeah I get it was a guess.

Maybe we underestimated how much harper wants to watch the golden state warriors.
