I think he's tradeable along with Eaton and MAT. Not saying I want that to happen. Perhaps they need to eat some of Howie money or perhaps they have to send a prospect and/or international money.
What I am simply saying is "if" ownership met with Harper just a few weeks ago, and if all they spent since was 7 million since, then that 7 million isn't what breaks the desire to sign Harper.
Life Lerner finds a way...
He might be tradeable after the season starts. Right now, you'd be getting nothing back.
And honestly, if Howie can still hit, I think you want him on the roster.
