MAMA MIA!!

This just pisses me off more that they offered 12 to Harper and only 8 to Machado, who to me, is a better player.

That was a joke. He didnt really tweet that.

THIS.
Harper is not worth a record setting contract. He's a great player, but not that category of great.

I wonder what the odds are that they win a World Series in the next 13 years?

23%

I knew the KW quote was a joke and then I stopped reading. By the way, what does parody mean?

Leave it to a Cubs fan to post about the Sox in a thread about the Phillies/Harper.

Why do you guys not like Harper?

The hair?

Yeah I don't get the hate for Harper.

Manny is much more of a douche on the field.

There are children in Philadelphia who aren't even born yet who will throw batteries at Bryce Harper before the end of this contract

I'm out.

Harper is overrated.

I would never sign someone to one of these mega-deals. How can one player add that much to a team unless they're a starting pitcher?

Jake Arrieta in the second half of 2015 was worth this contract. He was a guaranteed win every five days.

One thing you used to be able to say is with skyrocketing salaries halfway thru the deal the yearly number is not bad at all.

Might not be the case anymore though.

He did, but he did The Jerky Boys' Mark Knopfler bit about pulling large pieces of furniture out of his ass and then hung up.

It's pretty much Heyward money, 2-3 million more per year. and he's a hell of a lot better than Heyward.

that sox 250/8 just might have been more attractive than 330/13

Both of these guys got signed for near predicted market values. Both were interested in the Sox. Both signed elsewhere.

I'd be almost as angry as I was about Machado but I'm anesthetized to the pain now.

Hey, that money will be spent...on some no talent kegger.

You look at their off season moves this season and they amount to about $45 million for a big pile of shit. That is almost two years worth of Harper.
