The Bryce is Right, Bitch

Mystery Team = Reporter has no idea, but can take credit later when a team they never reported on signs him

 

how can you be this wrong all the time

[CubinNY]

Isn't the definition of a mystery team, that it's a team no one knows about? Once the team is exposed, it's no longer a mystery

[stitchface]

It seems clear now that Machado and Harper didn't want to upstage the NFL playoffs. Now that the Super Bowl is over, they are sure to sign any minute now.

 

Any.....minute

 

 

the super bowl was the only thing more boring than the baseball offseason.

I can't believe pitchers and catchers report next week, and neither of these guys has signed.

[CubinNY]

My extremely uninformed opinion is that Bryce returns to the Nats and Machado goes to the South Side. He'll fit right in with their fan base.

Machado’s gotta be like, “I’m gonna play for the....White Sox? Wtf!”

Up to now, this offseason had been like the bar scene in A Beautiful Mind where all the mathematicians decide that they’d all be better off not hitting on the hot chick and hitting on her plainer friends instead.

 

Except in this version, they’ve all decided that they’d be even better off than that by not hitting on chicks at all.

This one has made a lot of sense to me all off season. They never really rebuild there, they have no outfielders

If he doesn’t want to win for the majority of his contract since they’re absolutely stuck and in a shitty spots with contracts and age and see his career counting numbers suffer playing in that park. Then yeah, it’s a great fit

Heyward is a much better option :beg:

that's what has cracked me up about the "lets just send heyward to the giants with alzolay!" or whatever talk. Why wouldn't they just sign bryce harper for *checks notes* the exact same amount of money

We’d be taking some combo of Cueto, Melancon And Samardzija back. In that scenario. I don’t think anyone thought we’d dump his whole deal.

Also, at the very least, in a hypothetical Heyward trade Cubs pick up the 20mill deferred signing bonus, then he's down to 5/106 left on his contract. Harper will do much better than that or MLB should be shut down.

Also, Jason is tempting the baseball gods with his new shoes

[expletive], that's easily the coolest bit of Cubs news in a long time.

that's a difference of like $8-10m AAV, if you are willing to give butt-ass jason heyward 20 mil a year you should be shot if you aren't willing to give harper 30 mil

[Brian]

That's why the Cubs should sign Harper first and then trade Heyward to the Giants
