He has a opt out after 5 yearsSo it took all this time and in the end he signed to a 2000's style 10 years deal?? Doesn't make any sense but then again I'm not following it closely. Just thought these massive contracts were a thing of the past.

doesn't make sense either. He will not opt out.He has a opt out after 5 years
I think at one point ARod had the same thing in his contract when he was traded from Texas to the Yankees and he opted out for even more money. If Machado has 5 good years you better believe he will be opting out.doesn't make sense either. He will not opt out.
According to good sense he shouldn't ever get more than 30 million per year at 32 y/o but yeah things don't always make sense.I think at one point ARod had the same thing in his contract when he was traded from Texas to the Yankees and he opted out for even more money.

St Louis obviously knew what was up when they let him go. Make a big enough offer to save face but not a offer he cant refuse.For all the players bitching about the slow free agency process and wondering why owners are so reluctant to sign these guys to long term guaranteed contracts...
I give you Albert Pujols
He's averaged 21 HR with a .243 average over the last 2 seasons.
At 39 years old, he'll make $28 million this season, $29 million next year, and $30 million in 2021.
That's enough money to get over the fact that he may not get into the Hall of Fame and will never win a World Series.
Why no HOF?That's enough money to get over the fact that he may not get into the Hall of Fame and will never win a World Series.
That's exactly why I said that.Why no HOF?
Are you referring to the stigma of the Rocky Mountain air?
He is a hell of a hitter, but he does have one of the more lopsided home/away splits I've ever seen...
I'm on both sides of that one.They should get rid of the shift. Its fucking ridiculous to have your 3rd baseman plating second. I understand that hitters need to get better at hitting gaps but even Ted Williams couldnt beat the shift being thrown low inside sliders at 95 MPH.
I feel like Harper is playing Philly to leverage better terms from San Fran or LA.
He has been on some really good teams and had really good stats but was never even close to a world series. Same with Trout. One person can make a hige difference in a 7 game series and neither of them have showed up.I feel like Harper is playing Philly to leverage better terms from San Fran or LA.
If he was wanting to play in Philly, I think he would have just signed with Washington. Philly gives him the same shit weather, just adds a bunch of asshole fans.
I don't know. I don't really care. I think he is incredibly overrated anyway. No chance in hell I sign him to 10/300+.
I think Philly offered the largest contract so far but he doesn't want to play there. Dodgers are probably only willing to do 4 year deal or just trying to drive up the price on SF.I feel like Harper is playing Philly to leverage better terms from San Fran or LA.

Harper really only had 1 great season and that was in 2015. The guy hit .249 last year. 169 Ks to only 137 hits.He has been on some really good teams and had really good stats but was never even close to a world series. Same with Trout. One person can make a hige difference in a 7 game series and neither of them have showed up.
In 7 seasons Harper has only hit 30+ HRs twice.I think Philly offered the largest contract so far but he doesn't want to play there. Dodgers are probably only willing to do 4 year deal or just trying to drive up the price on SF.
I'm a Giants fan.Give him whatever the fuck he wants. 10 years 350 mill 3 year opt out. He probably isn't thrilled about hitting in our park but I'm willing to suck his dick to make up for it. We haven't had a 30+ home run season since Bonds in '04.

2 30+ HR season by age 25. I'm willing to suck his cock twice now.In 7 seasons Harper has only hit 30+ HRs twice.
22, 20, 13, 42, 24, 29, 34
Jose Canseco had 4.2 30+ HR season by age 25. I'm willing to suck his cock twice now.
