- Meanwhile, the Nats tried to overpay during the season, and he turned them down. - David Feb 28, 12:58 11
  - I just read that the Nats deal of 10yr/300M included deferring a huge amount (like 100M huge) - decline Feb 28, 13:04 7
    - I am confident that Boras and his team will leak everything possible to swear that this deal isn't as comically bad as it is. - David Feb 28, 13:14 6
      - Boros is saying he had shorter term deals worth 45 mil per -- nm - eag Feb 28, 13:44 2
        
        If he really believed in the player and had those offers, he should have taken one of them. -- nm - David Feb 28, 13:50 1
        
        According to him Harper wanted one deal to end his career with -- nm - eag Feb 28, 13:53
      - The deferred money thing has been out there for a long while. It wasn't just leaked. -- nm - Inigo Feb 28, 13:22
      - You know what this means though - decline Feb 28, 13:22 1
        
        Too bad the Braves are going to pilfer him in July to pair with Acuna... - David Feb 28, 13:25
  - god I hate the sound of that IM -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 13:00 2
    - This is the worst Boras has overplayed his hand since Kevin Millwood. -- nm - David Feb 28, 13:02 1
      - and yet, he is coming out smelling like roses. -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 13:02
- Yeah, but I was close. -- nm - Spawn Feb 28, 12:28
13 years!?! -- nm - decline Feb 28, 12:02 26

- That’s just dumb. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 28, 12:07 16
  - Phillies, proving that there is always one idiot GM. -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 12:12 15
    - There was always the thinking he never wanted to play in Philly - eag Feb 28, 12:18 14
      - they extended what he was looking for by 3 years???? - groiny Feb 28, 12:24 13
        
        And wait until he has a bad year and the Phillies fans turn on him. Then it will become a living hell. -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 12:44 6
        
        I am not even mad about the AAV, I am more irked by the years. -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 12:47
        
        I ain't gonna lie, I wanted him here, but I would be pissed if we gave him that contract. - groiny Feb 28, 12:46 4
        
        Honestly I think its a bad deal for him too. - pmb Feb 28, 12:52 3
        
        well, given what we have seen this year, 25 million a year is going to be nothing in 5 years. -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 12:54 2
        
        Exactly. -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 12:57 1
        
        which I assume is how he got out of the Opt Outs, by them throwing in another 3 years. -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 12:58
        
        With a pretty untradable contract to boot -- nm - eag Feb 28, 12:29 2
        
        He's now in the same situation as ARod and Mike Hampton. It'll end the same way. -- nm - David Feb 28, 13:00
        
        well, they did say they were ready to spend "stupid money" -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 12:48

- holy hell -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 12:06
- I did a double take as well. -- nm - Jovian Feb 28, 12:06
- that's some green book mess right there. -- nm - Diva Feb 28, 12:05
- (It will not include any opt-outs - Harper didn’t want one) -- nm* - decline Feb 28, 12:03 1
  - It'll be front-loaded and has no deferrals either. Harper wanted stability -- nm - decline Feb 28, 12:19
