there should be no doubt and no reason why most of the market is unsigned heading into spring training.

Front offices no longer want to give out these decade long deals because they never end well. The Angels still owe Albert Pujols $87M over the next three years, including $28M going into his age "39" season (probably more like 42).

I don't think Harper is going to age particularly well and the back half of a 10 year contract might cripple whoever signs him.
