[Dr Pepper]

Details on the contract?

About goddamn time, Bryce. Now try and play like you're worth it.

 

[Terry Yake]

the contract is going to be ridiculous

just glad this is finally over

 

[Cody Webster]

Yeaaaaa!!! Get in my belly!

 

[Cody Webster]

whoa what

Suck it!

 

[EpochLink]

So....what took so long?

 

[John Price]

Suck it!

dude the Phillies haven't made the playoffs since like 2009

That's nearly 10 years

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Assuming Philly finally gave best and highest to compete with LA along with a deadline.

Remember that one time the Nationals won a playoff series?

Mike Trout is going to get 500 M.

 

[John Price]

He was always going to get paid. Then people said he was overrated with very flimsy evidence. He had like one bad year in 2018. What grounds do you have to say that Bryce is overrated?

 

[Machinehead]

RIP Phillies

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Thank god the Giants didn't pay that kind of money. He's going to be launching balls though, considering CBP is a home run hitter park. I wonder if that's why he didn't want to come to the Giants.

"Overrated" depends on how good you think the player is, but there's four RF's clearly better than him.

 

[EpochLink]

13 years!?!? Ohhhhhhh man.
The money is fine but the length!? And no opt out clause!?

Enjoy Philly though.

List them.

I'll give you Trout but that's it.

Judge-Betts-Yelich...who else?

Trout is a CF.

Betts, Judge, Stanton, and Yelich are clearly better than Harper.

The latter two aren't MUCH better, but you can clearly see the gap.

Judge-Betts-Yelich...who else?

Stanton.

Again, the gap isn't big, but he does literally everything a little better than Harper, except walk.

 

[GKJ]

At 13 years, I don't know why you wouldn't want opt-outs

 

[EpochLink]

The big kicker is why no opt out?
If the Phillies go through a time when they have to rebuild down the line I guess Bryce is in it for the cause?

13 years, woof.
