The Padres just fricked all the MLB owners raw.
Solidarity baws. All that heel digging for nothing.

Or those owners will be laughing at the Padres in 7-8 years

Not really, because somebody in the playoff hunt in the future will reach and trade for him and absorb the very money they didn’t want to fork out in the first place.

He'll expect a bigger deal without realizing he isn't as good as Machado.

Seems like a really nice deal for the Twins. I wish the Astros would have brought him back on that

Wish Yankees had gotten him for that.

Saw a report that Harper and the Phillies have agreed on a 330M contract and that the deal will be official soon.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The prolonged Bryce Harper sweepstakes is coming to a close.
Harper is expected to make his decision by the end of this week, two team executives told USA TODAY Sports. The executives spoke on condition of anonymity because of ongoing negotiations.
This chase for Harper, or Harper’s chase for at least $300 million, has lasted so long that now teams are jumping in to see if they can get him at a discount rate.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are the latest to show interest, with their front office and manager Dave Roberts meeting Harper and agent Scott Boras in Las Vegas on Sunday night, which the club confirmed Monday.
quote:
Really, it’s quite simple here.
If Harper wants the most money, the Phillies are most likely his team.
If he wants to go to an iconic franchise that’s close to his Las Vegas home, but doesn’t mind leaving about $200 million on the table, he’ll choose the Dodgers.
If he wants to stay out West, but perhaps doesn’t mind playing for a team that’s about to begin their rebuild, and playing in a ballpark that could suffocate his power numbers, he’ll go to San Francisco.
The choice is his.
The Phillies, who have been the stalking horse all winter for Harper, remain the favorite. They desperately want him, but maybe they’re not so willing to spend “stupid’’ money. They realize that if they land Harper, they likely will not only be favorites to win the NL East, but also satisfy a fan-base who will be outraged if they don’t get him.
If the Dodgers were willing to make a $300 million offer, Harper would sign quicker than finishing off a Dodger Dog. But Andrew Friedman, Dodgers vice president of baseball operations, has never spent more than $80 million in free agency, and isn’t about to start now. His biggest expenditure for an outside free agent was the $60 million he gave to center fielder A.J. Pollock this winter.
The Giants want Harper primarily to stay relevant, sell season tickets, and be their modern-day Barry Bonds. Essentially, he would be a one-man carnival. The front office has no interest in anything more than a short-term deal, but ownership may try to overrule new boss Farhan Zaidi, which could create potential conflict within only a few months on the job.
Sometime this week, the drama will end.

The number of years ive seen connected with this most recent run at Harper is 6. If they can meet in the middle at 8, I really think a deal could be made here
Posted on 2/25/19 at 6:21 pm to WestCoastAg
8 years 330 million, he gets his wish as largest AAV and largest in general contract
Posted on 2/25/19 at 6:34 pm to tduecen
Maybe 8 years with 5 and an option for 3. Like 200 for the first 5 and then 100 for the last 3
