The Bryce is Right, Bitch

[soccer10k]

Christ, 13 years? Obviously that's for luxury tax purposes but Bryce is obviously pretty sure he wasn't going to have a career after 36 (which, given the way of things these days, is probably a safe bet)

 

Surprised he didn’t get any opt outs in there.

Holy horsefeathers

 

 

So much for not really wanting to play in Philadelphia. He is now a Phillie for life

 

25.4 per year...or put another way Brandon Kintzler plus Cole Hamels plus .4 million

 

Horsefeathers Theo just as much as Tom

 

I wouldnt be surprised if it was quite a bit front loaded. But yeah if the Cubs were concerned about luxury tax then this would have been a good deal for them.

I'll believe it when I sees it....

[UMFan83]

But seriously, it doesnt matter anymore but Zobrist and Heyward back in the lineup and Harper signing is announced hours later.

[Sammys Boombox]

That’s the deal? Seriously?

[Old Style]

Has Harper demanded a trade yet?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Enjoy Kris Bryant's last three, gimpy-shouldered years with the Cubs.

Rosenthal is saying he didn't want an opt-out.

That seems about as crappy (for Bryce) as a 330 million dollar contract can be.

Now think about what Russell is making

[Hawk4Hall]

Welp. It was fun to dream. Details of the deal is a sort of kick in the pants.

What is the status of Brian Roberts?

[The_Achiever]

He's going to hate it there. Maybe we can trade for him in a year or two.

That doesn't make any sense unless it was to get extra money out of them. There's no reason to not want as much control as they are willing to give you.

Anyone have the ricketts email to send them a strongly worded letter

Single game tickets are on sale now!

full no trade

full no trade

In other words, he will pick who he wants to be traded to once he figures out how much he hates Philly.

I wonder if we will see less Tom walking around Wrigley greeting fans this year.

If this is the contract, then Boras/Harper screwed up by passing on the Nationals reported offer (10/300) and the Nationals rumored offer (higher than that). Yeah, he sets a record, but Machado ended up with a higher AAV, and if there's no opt out, this is just a weird, weird ending to the Harper FA. Sure, he's going to a more competitive team than Harper, but it sure feels like the Nationals offer was better, so it feels like Boras, along with ... well, a lot of us, misread the market, but we don't have a client's future at stake.

 

This is just a bleh deal. Tbh, it's a pretty solid deal for the Phillies, outside of the latter years likely being a mess.

It would give me great joy to see him roundly booed when shown on the big screen, but 90% of fans at Wrigley will be oblivious to what has (or hasn't) happened this offseason.
