It's great that all the recent speculation was how reluctant he was to go to Philly and how he was starting to consider short term offers and then... BOOM, 13 fucking years in Philly :lol:

MLB media got burnt badly at every turn during the Machado/Harper offseason

For his sake, I hope he plays well. He could be murdered if he doesn’t.

Even earlier in the off season the reports were that he didn't want to live in Philly. Now, a third of a billion dollars could change anyone's mind about living anywhere, but thats just another way the media looked silly as well.

No opt outs and a no trade clause.

FOREVER

He'll be a DH in the last 6 years of the deal.

Now, Philly cant afford Trout, so he will most definitely sign with the Cubs.

Harper is "only" a $25 mil aav cap hit. They have the money to spend on Trout too, if they want.

Not worried about that massive 8 year, $200 million, could jump to $300 million if Trout hits 80 HRs in the 9th year contract the Sox are gonna offer Trout to prove that Jerry is definitely not cheap?
