In response to "And then have to pay $75mil in contracts between Bryce Harper* and Strasburg. -- nm" by Will Hunting

I can't imagine a situation where WAS doesn't sign Strasburg. Boras doesn't want a(nother) Matt Harrison story on his resume.

WAS will give him big money and he'll sign.

What's the Matt Harrison story? Are you talking about the guy we traded to Texas for Tex? -- nm - David Jun 8, 09:19 2
- Matt Harrington, I think. - Will Hunting Jun 8, 09:22 1
  - Whoops. Yeah, Harrington. And in Boras' defense, the intial snafu wasn't his. - musubi Jun 8, 09:26
Well, if the # is 50mil like he's saying he wants, I think there's a good chance it doesn't happen - Will Hunting Jun 8, 09:09 4
- His primary goal here is to break the barrier in order to have the new mark as a jumping off point. - David Jun 8, 09:11 3
  - Yup. His 50M number is a starting point, so he can let WAS feel like they talked him down. - musubi Jun 8, 09:13
  - If it's sub-20mil, I can accept that given what we're seeing as Strasburg's level - Will Hunting Jun 8, 09:13 1
    - Boras-hate is irrational. He almost always gets his clients signed. - musubi Jun 8, 09:16
