they are proclaiming phillies as nl east favouriites lol
just because of harper ridiculous
mccuthcheon is done they point to that as another great signing
nationals have a better team the only thing holding back the nats is the worst manager in mlb
sadly harper is all about the money for an extra 3 years and 35 million dollars
you'd think he'd take a 10 year deal at 300ish sf or nats or even an la type high 30s for several years
play with winning organizations in great areas with great fans
13 years in philly ugh not even an extra 35 million is worth that no optouts (I mean that's pretty much the definition of Hell)
how did he figure that deal was good for him i would have looked at yearly average not overall average
he's only making 25 a year
i imagine the marketing in la or sf would have garnered him way more bucks anyway
philly has the worst fans in sports bar none
the only thing i can figure is philly told him they had mike trout in the bag maybe that was the decider but i doubt it
harper made a dumb move here really dumb
If I had been Harper I would have taken the nats 10 for 300 and been a 1 team player but that's me and I would have never gone to the phillies long term or for 25 a year no way
didn't he think he will be a good enough player to opt out in a 5ish years for another big payday? does he know he's overrated lol
