Bryce Harper???
 

So do any of you think he'll stay in DC and if not , go with who?

Re: Bryce Harper???
 

I do not think he will be back in DC...I expect one of these teams who falls short in the playoffs to come in with a big offer to him.

Re: Bryce Harper???
 

He's coming up here. Phillies for sure.

Re: Bryce Harper???
 

I wouldn't resign him unless it was a team friendly deal. 300+ mil for a guy who was totally healthy and hit .250 this year? No thanks.

He can still regain that MVP status but I'm more concerned with winning a Series than tracking his HOF odds.

Re: Bryce Harper???
 

Team friendly deal at his age? One off year BA wise isn't going to degrade his earning potential. Someone is going to back up the Brinks truck to his front door.

Re: Bryce Harper???
 

I feel the Nats are going to make a big offer...think he does end up on the West Coast

Phillies. Their ownership has let it leak that they’re willing to pay whatever it takes to land both Harper and Machado.

Well duh of course someone's gonna offer him big money. I just don't want to hope it's the Nats. The type of money he's going to get is not going to be worth the production.

Re: Bryce Harper???
 

As a Mets fan I say get him outta the division please.

Re: Bryce Harper???
 

30 homers and 100 RBI's but he's hitting .250.

If we pay him the money he's asking for, 300+ mil, we're looking at extending him and possibly Rendon.

Or we could save that money going to him, and keep Rendon, Turner, Soto, Eaton, Robles down the road, etc.

I'd rather extend the core of this team than ask Harper to be the backbone that lets us compete for a championship every year.

Re: Bryce Harper???
 

Anyone else wondering WTH is going on with Bryce Harper?? I somewhat understand why Machado has not signed with someone because there's baggage that comes with him, but I'm really shocked that it's almost February and he is not signed. All signs still point to the Phillies...but what's taking so long? Seems odd...

Re: Bryce Harper???
 

What have the Nats won w/ Harper? Let his ass walk. 300 million? He's just not worth it. Someone will have buyers remorse after the first year.

Phillies:

13 years....330 million

13 years? Insane IMO...

Re: Bryce Harper???
 

$25.3M per season though, Arenado got $32M per season. Shorter period yeah, but much higher cost. Phillies didn't do badly here at all.

Re: Bryce Harper???
 

What happened to all the talking heads saying he doesn't want to go to the Phillies?? He should've stayed in DC for the $300 million...but that didn't get Boris the largest contract ever.
