The angels do stupid things, his free agency is close to when philly should get competitive- maybe they bid, the cubs have cash, same with the Red Sox.

Red Sox and Cubs might be players at a 300 million payroll.  Neither of them seem like teams that would give out 400 million contracts.  I can't see Harper going to Phillie unless the money was too good.  I think you're right about the Angels being a bit of a wild card.   I'd love to know what Harper would be asking for this winter, what the Nats are willing to offer, and what he'd truly get in free agency.   I suspect he'd not get nearly as much as he and Boras think he would.
