Bryce Harper Signs With the Phillies - Page 3

rman112 · 02-28-2019, 03:07 PM

If you had him signing on the same day as Jason Witten in your pool, you win.

So a touch over $25mil per year...little lower than I expected but then I didn't expect 13 years either. My guess is that he sees how the MLB is trending toward younger players and didn't want to be out of a job at 36.

Tues Apr 2 is first game back in WASH

So does this clear the way for Cardiac Craig Kimbrel to go to LA?

Wolves4Life · 02-28-2019, 03:09 PM

Horrible deal for Philly.

Will be nice for heritage high with Harper and machado

But I can’t believe he ends up 100 miles away

I thought LA Cubs Yankeess

Instead he just goes for money.

Blah

He wanted longest and most expensive deal in MLB history

It’s always about the money

SupermanBrandon · 02-28-2019, 03:11 PM

Does this do anything for his cards?

Bowman1951 · 02-28-2019, 03:12 PM

Does this mean he makes into S2 in a Phillies uniform?

He was always going for the money. That’s Boras MO. Take the most money, if you don’t like being there we will get you traded.

I know that got him just over Stanton's 13 year/$325 mil contract, but I still can't believe that he's agreeing to $25ish million a year with no opt out.

About the same maybe? No longer a franchise player but now with a more dedicated fanbase. Idk

texmcpherson · 02-28-2019, 03:14 PM

Mike Trout <$400M?

Scottish Punk · 02-28-2019, 03:14 PM

Saw it was 13/330 with no opt outs.

That's a lot of hair gel and skinny jeans he can buy. I'm jealous.

Gradek · 02-28-2019, 03:16 PM

What Harper are they getting? If it is the 2016/2018 Harper then Philly may regret this deal pretty quickly. The supposed front loading of the deal (haven't seen this confirmed yet) is actually good for both parties.

Still going to hurt at the back end.

Given Harper's injury history, this could be the new front-runner for worst contract ever.

Them free cheesesteaks for life are going to go straight to his hips.

Nope, Trout goes well in excess of $400 million. Harper isn't really in the same league as Trout anymore.

13 Years

Jaypers · 02-28-2019, 03:19 PM

This just in - Boras is buying Tristan da Cunha with his share of the contract.
