re: MLB Offseason Thread

And I thought Liberals were useless nowadays..

This Phanatic wants to smooch Cali and their high state tax..

For bringing Bryce back to NL East.

Ironically, Arod was clutch in October once in his career.against my Phils in 2009 World Series.

Of course not, he wants to win now, not wait on Giants rebuild, I knew that.

Then again, every little bit of angle, can only help.

But, do think if Dodgers high AAV short length deal would've went a bit further than the 200M at 40M+ per yr..

I think he'd been a Dodger.

You don't think that if he could make 230 or 240 of his 330 in half the length, that he wouldn't gamble on himself at age 32 in an latter inflated marketplace?

He keeps fit, albeit gets hurt, misses games, and can at times have marginal fielding.

I didnt intend 60M yrs, but rather say a 6 yr deal at 40ish per.

The single largest contract this front office has given out is 5 years

They werent going to go more than 5 and they probably werent going to do that

And I think Harper would have turned that down anyway

A-Rod was just the first to pop in my head, but I’m essentially referring to any player that eats a disproportionate amount of a team’s budget for an extended period of time.

It obviously limits what the front office can do, and places a lot of the team’s success at risk due to the health of an individual player, not to mention team chemistry.

After a brief introduction, Harper donned his No. 3 Phillies jersey for the first time as an official member of the organization.
"I'm very proud, very happy to put this uniform on for the first time," Harper said. "I can’t wait to get on that field and do Philly nation proud.” The 26-year-old star outfielder wore No. 34 as a member of the Washington Nationals but explained on Saturday that he'll wear No. 3 in Philadelphia out of respect for Hall of Famer Roy Halladay.

Kuechel and Kimbrel got to sign eventually.
