The Bryce is Right, Bitch

if i was the white sox i would go $40m the first two years followed by an opt-out and a more reasonable ($30m or whatever) AAV after that. They convince Harper to come based on the early dollar signs with the idea being that if the team isnt competitive in that 2-year window he can just hit FA as a 28-year-old again.

 

from their perspective they're only out an extra $20m over what it would have cost anyway.

Yeah a structure like that is probably their best chance and the opposite structure is probably what we are offering him, lower amounts the first 1-2 years then big jumps. They probably would still need to offer him to most overall money too (~$50 mil more than us or Dodgers or whoever) in case of an injury or something and he was stuck there.

If the Cubs lose out on Harper or Machado, is Brian Roberts still an option.

I'm partial to Jake Peavy.

If he doesnt go to the Cubs which is highly unlikely then him landing in the American League is best case scenario

I made an Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade reference in that thread that I'm still pretty proud of.

wouldnt you want him to land in the AL if its not the Cubs? Best case scenario for fellow Cub fans

[Forgotmyoldlogin]

I know it’s Gonzales’s razor phone so it’s hard to tell but that bald guy kinda looks like Harper’s dad that he’s with

Picture quality's pretty bad, but I think that's Vijay Longlastname, the traveling secretary.

How is this a gotcha

his post says it’s highly unlikely he doesn’t go to the cubs. at its best, it’s a poorly worded sentence.

it said it's highly unlikely he won't go to the cubs then there's no way he won't go to the dodgers.

i'm pretty sure the guy who, less than 24 hours before, basically said he thinks there's no way he's not going to the dodgers, meant to refer to the actual going to the cubs part as being highly unlikely.

at best it's a "you suck at saying things" gotcha, which is pretty low hanging fruit among gotchas, IMO
