OT: Phillies: I'm Starting To Think Our Bank Accounts Are Frozen: Offseason Part Two

[Hollywood Cannon]

This is like the Phillies version of Fyre.

It's going to end the same way too

JVR being the biggest FA signing in Philadelphia over these Lebron/Harper/Machado lead offseasons?

Perfection.

Billy couldn't have written it any better.

I wonder where the Padres are going to trade Manny in about two seasons.

Phillies after Trout re-signs...

The Phillies if they don’t get Harper

Who are we sacrificing to, ya know, Harper, if it comes to it?

Tim Brown reporting there's an opt out clause after yr 5 which is wild

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

i don't think Harper is coming here (there)

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Shut up, Heyman.

 

[Rebels57]

Shut up, Heyman.

He went on my block list yesterday. He's a pathetic sad little attention whore.

Well that totally doesn't sound like a Boras leak...

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

This guy is NY Eskin.

 

[Prongo]

This dude has been wrong on about everything this off season.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Why are we panicking now exactly? We've known Machado was signing elsewhere for weeks.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Personally, it's because Boras has the Phillies over a barrel now. Boras waited out Machado and eventually made his guy the last man standing.

For all we know, he keeps waiting until he finally digs up another team that will compete contractually with the Phillies.

 

[Hurricane28]

Would have preferred to sign Harper before Machado signed. Price now goes up since theres no plan B.

Fair enough, but I wouldn't bet on Boras blinking anyway. I'm not sure there was an actual deadline to him.

Middleton put himself over a barrel.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

So, uh, you were a fraud the entire time then.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Machado getting 300 million is a little surprising.

 

[Rebels57]

Offer $35 x 10 and call it a day.

 

[Hurricane28]

So if the White Sox couldn't go to 300 million that has to take them out on Harper.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Offer $35 x 10 and call it a day.

Yeah, I think Harper signs within the week now. Harper just wants more money than Machado.

Thanks God.
