There was always the thinking he never wanted to play in Philly

Posted by eag (aka eag) Feb 28 '19, 12:18

But the teams he wanted to play for weren't going to give him the contract he wanted so he basicly extorted from the Phillies.

Responses:

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
