I hope he's happy with being surrounded by mediocrity for the next five years.

I remember the Padres had a big free-agency a couple years ago when they landed a few top players and then they completely stinked that season.
At least their stadium looks cool I will give them that.

I'm surprised there's so much resistance from this... the current situation is Cuban players that are hot enough need to make deals with the cuban mafia to get out of the country and then they owe a percentage of their future profits to the cuban mob or their family will get got.

I guess this means he will sign with San Francisco I mean I have a feeling he will like it there.

That cracked me up and there's still a great chance Bryce may be a Philly.

Frankly I think they made some good moves, but I'd love to see him here as long as it's not a bank breaker. Also to be frank I'm sick of the foreplay every 20 mins my phone beeps Bryce is.... shaving, talking to the Dodgers, having toast... called by etc etc. Just get this over when he signs.

Confirmed Bryce to the Phils!!!

13 years $300 millon That sets him up for basically the rest of his career.
 
No opt out either. We have 6 players now (adding Bryce) who beaned in 20 last year, our pitching is pretty solid.

As long as he doesn't get hurt, cause drama or slump it's a good deal even for how expensive it was.

Though he could burn out because he is set for a long time.
 
There is no way Harper is worth that kind of money. He's not even that great of an outfielder tbh,. I hope Philly is confident this is a solid fit, cuz otherwise that's a giant chunk of change to keep this guy around until he's 39 years old. It's the national league too, so it's not like they can roster him as a DH when he gets old and slow.

No one is worth that sort of money, but he found a way to get it.

The NL will most likely have the DH after the strike/lockout after the 2021 season.
 
Don't ruin this with reality lol.

Also Bryce has made a few phone calls to Mike Trout, I don't think the Phil's have the dosh for that right now, but a man can hope. Also 100k tickets sold day of Bryce's signing, right now since he picked a new number for the team (out of respect for Halladay) it's the #1 sold Jersey right now.

I haven't copped one, but my fun money went to tickets over another jersey. I'm sure we will get more than one give away this summer.

Tix was a wiser investment. Some of the Chinese bootleg sites have identical jerseys for like ~$20, it's either clearly the same people who make the real ones or someone who has a copy of blueprints/schematics...
 
lol trout got what he was worth.. some players only care about money,,hahahaha
 
I'm looking forward to having something to watch again every night from now until November.
 
Excited to see what the blue Jays have this season. They were doing trades right up until last night and spring training went well. 3hrs till game time
 
Recent cubs observations:

-the cubs have have been the best team in baseball over the last 30 days, after a 2-7 start they now sit atop the central with a multi game lead.

-javier Baez is the best baseball player in the NL

-kris bryant is playing as good as he ever has

-the professor is back, Hendricks has been lights out his last 3 starts, pitching 8 full innings tonight, as well as getting 3 hits tonight at the plate, ho-lee shit is that some dope baseball

-pitching in general has been lights out Quintana and Lester throwing great, and the bullpen has been amazing, apart from yu darvish, this staff looks great. Although who knows, yu looked good his first couple innings last game, and Montgomery pitched well thru several in relief. Maybe a Yu/Mike combo will work in that 5th starter slot. Unorthodox but who knows.
