And better than Bryce.
I'm pretty sure you meant to say he "plays a more premium position", which is accurate.
And better than Bryce.
He's better than Bryce and plays a more premium position. He's better offensively and massively better defensively.
Arenado needed to stay in CO based on his splits alone.
Feels like this is lose-lose for both Harper and the Phillies. The only way Harper can beat Arenado's AAV is a short deal with LA/SF. The only way he gets his years is for non-record setting $$. Meanwhile, it feels like the Phillies played their hand too long and the market moved against them at the last minute.
Park neutral/adjusting stats still have him as an excellent hitter. Since 2015, his wRC+ of 127 puts him 33rd in the league.
Care to place a wager? Phillies get at least 1 or Harper or Machado. I’ll go up to $1,000.
Does the offer still stand?
One more target for Boras now is the AAV in the contract. So biggest total $, highest AAV, and where Bryce wants to be all playing in the equation.
I wish the Cubs Would come in with some stupid short term high AAV offer for Harper for 3/105 or something- just say F it we're going for it the next 3 years. Take the pain this year on the luxury tax, a lot of money rolls off the books next year.
Some of you guys are pretty uppity for a thread about the baseball offseason. Eesh.
Bryce must really hate the city of Philadelphia.
Or he wants to be nearer his hometown.
