true.  The Dodgers might be willing to break the bank for him.  LAA added a bunch of older big question mark players to fill holes this year - Bour, Harvey, Cahill, and Lucroy.  If the team falters, and they realize they can't keep Trout, maybe they blow it up and rebuild (of course they are still saddled with Pujols for $87 million in 2019-20-21.

Imagine the hate for Harper in Philly when they realize that because of his contract, the Philths will not be able to big for Trout's services.

Don’t be so sure. I think he will extend with the Angels.

Davey, do it

I used to be kind of in favor of banning the shift, but somehow this year's free agency has convinced me otherwise :)

Quote
Washington, where Harper was an MVP, rookie of the year and a six-time All-Star, made a 10-year, $300 million offer in October. "I grew up in front of those fans and that city, and I enjoyed every minute of it," Harper says. "But I didn't know if I fit into their plans. About $100 million of that contract was deferred 'til I was 65 years old." He stops and turns his palms to the sky in disbelief. Few people can turn down a $100 million retirement fund; Bryce is one. "It's like, 'What does that do for me? What does that do for my family?'"

A+ effort by Boras to shift the media into the Bryce comeback story (the lede of that story - give me a break). No one can play reporters like Scott.

He's got his family to feed...


And they've been nearly starving to death until the Phillies came to the rescue.

:smh:  really kind of glad he's someone else's moronic player now.

Anywhere but Philly. This is going to suck nine games a year.

If he kills us, sure.  If he has bad games against us it'll be delightful :)

Madden basically broke him by just walking him every time, why not do the same

I was thinking that but I'd much rather see our pitchers dominate him.

Seeing him throw a tantrum, then proceed to suck for a month would be fine with me

You mean after Mad Max throws to him?  I think Max would tell Martinez to get bent if he gave him that sign.

The Park is going to be wall to wall Philthy fans. They really are despicable.
