Suckers. Shoulda sprung for the nacho cheese machine that makes nacho cheese. Either way it doesn't matter . The Cubs have a license to print money. And they make at least $1/2B a year. Add in the tv rights when you own the signal and can sell to the highest bidder. To not sign Harper would be a generational mistake. . It's not too late . I think he likes Chicago and he kills the ball at Wrigley. It makes too much sense right?!!

Russell had a 527 OPS in 109 at bats versus lefties last year. If we're two months into the season and that trend continues I think it should be a serious consideration. Plus in some respects Baez represents an upgrade (particularly in power). I also like the idea of not having anyone in the lineup start more than 145 or so games. That way come September and October they're more likely not to wear down. I hate to break it to you but two months into the season will be addison Russell's first games . He will strike out a lot trying to hit for power if he hit using launch angle like the new batting coach for the Cubs is Anthony Iopoce who uses launch angle much more than chilli Davis did. Remember the 2017 Red Sox ? They fired Chili Davis and they signed JD Martinez. The Cubs need to sign Harper. It's too good a fit and $30M over 12 years is probably worth it. The guys going to be hitting into his 30s just like Mike Trout. If the Cubs could sign Mike Trout now would they? To have the best player in the game at his or really any position. He can kill the ball. He gets on base at like a .400 clip. That's MVP type numbers and I honestly think the Cubs are fools if they fail to sign Harper. It's all about horsefeathering money so just let the capricious pig have his $30 a year over 10+ years. He has to be the biggest and the best but the thing is eventually its all going to be money. It's already all about the money. Unless Harper and Machado make $30M free agency isn't going to be that big. Someone will give Bryce $30 and I really hope it's the Cubs. Do you know how much money that dude draws to the seats? Buy PSL pay 60% up year over year for season tickets. Now one costs like $100k . Its because the Cubs have been so damn good. But yeah they overpaid in Heyward and Darvish is a huge ? but you can't overpay for Harper. The guy has been dropping hints all year about coming to Chicago. Is he just the world's worst troll?!! Why would he name his dog Wrigley if he didn't want to play for the Cubs he can play for any team he wants and if he wants to play for the Cubs that's awesome. He should experience winning consistent winning over and over again. Going to the world series back to back. As as the writing of this Bryce Harper is still an unsigned free agent able to sign with any team. What is the guy thinking about? Imagine the powerhouse at Wrigley every day. Where we run out Whit Merifield who if theo doesn't unload Happ for Merrifield. I don't really know. Imagine though Zobrist Bryant Harper Rizzo Baez Realmuto Russell. Looks like a murderer's row especially when you consider that Russell won't be the Cubs shortstop. Baez will be. So we need a second baseman DJ Lamehieu is a free agent and we have to unload Schwarber Happ and or Almora. Maybe all of them. They are like super prospects because they're so young but they are good as hell. We need to get a lefty reliever or two. Should have gotten Jean Segura and Edwin Diaz. I knew they were available. How the hell did the Cubs not try to come up with something. But I'll bet trades came at them fast and they saw all the young controllable arms that the Mets gave up but horsefeathers Edwin Diaz in the NL . Watch out for the Mets this year possibly because they will have great starting pitching but no offense and they pay cespades like $28M a year to be hurt. And then come back and screw everything up. They have no bats and they score no runs

The only reason he got a contract is because the Cubs didn't want to get nothing for him but I can almost guarantee you he's played his last game as a Cub. Why let a guy become a free agent after the horsefeathers he did?

But the TV deal does not start until 2020 when the Cubs will own the rights to broadcast the games and when they control the content they make massive amounts of money. It's really insane. The Cubs have the money to sign Bryce Harper and anyone else they want. Even if they go way over the luxury tax the tax they owe is less than $5M. So who cares? Spend the revenue to get a better product. Win many world series. I'm talking about trading Schwarber Happ or Almora. Russell goes without saying. They didn't want to reward him for bad behavior by cutting him loose. Allowing him to sign as a free agent elsewhere. Screw that. We deserve to get something from this stupid auto correct

Well the postseason is in full swing and there have been as expected a fire sale in Seattle where we could have had Jean Segura and Edwin Diaz both of whom were traded for nothing. A lot of prospects but the Cubs have major league tested and ready talent to trade in Kyle Schwarber Ian happ and Albert Almora all should go after we sign Bryce Harper. Signing Harper makes all the sense in the world. You think the guy is going to decline?I don't see it happening any time soon. So you give the guy a 12 year deal worth $400 . It's so worth it. The Cubs have an ATM in their office that prints money. They made over $3B in 2016. They're making like $500m a year. Pay Harper $30M and watch the Cubs dominate for at least the next 3 years until we have to sign Bryant and Rizzo.
