Hahaha. I totally randomly posted that this morning and then boom.

[QUOTE=Dbacksbaseball;14422361]Ultimately, I try and be unbiased and get a lot of facts. Heres what I come up with.

-Harper turned down 10/yr $300 Mil with deferred money to WAS-- He will now need to beat that number to save face.
- Nats are out as they have publicly 'moved on'.
-SD Signs Machado for 10/yr $300 mil no deferred money.
-SD realistically is out, despite how truly odd there fan base is on twitter, and how many Padres fans report breaking news every 5 minutes of Harper signing there. Rosenthal confirmed Pads conversations with Boras are mainly on Keuchel.
-Therefor SD is out.
-Giants came to the table with short term high AAV deal. Harpers camp publicly said thats not an option. We havent heard much since, despite more rumors.
-Therefor I am not putting the Giants out, but pretty close to out.
-Dodgers came in for a visit, again by all reports short term AAV. Dodgers also don't want to crush the luxury tax.
-Harper may want to play there, but leaving money on the table puts egg on his face for turning down the Nats deal.
-Dodgers are in, but not much higher then 5% if they dont up there years and AAV-- theres not a lot of dots with todays report that connect.

I would say the Phillies are still firmly in the drivers seat.[/QUOTE]


This aged very well. I think sometimes it’s best to look through all the BS and see what is logical.

I wish I lived closer to Vegas, and would have put money on this, as it really was the most likely/logical landing spot since the 2018 season ended.

So how long now do we think before Keuchel finds a landing spot? It would seem the final dominoes are going to fall into place.






Except for Kimbrel. He can rot. He's a douche and I hope no one signs him.

I'd imagine most should sign in the next week or two.
Just curious, why the hate on Kimbrel?

The stove is still hot! Carlos Gonzalez so the Indians on a minor league deal.
