Was he just guessing or was he claiming to know something?
I actually think there is a non zero chance that the Braves could take the risk of signing Harper, because of his unique branding and marketability. What would that mean for Liberty Media? I don't know the answer to that.
thank you weso1!
I ran into Gerald Laird at Honey Baked Ham Co. and he said we were on the verge of signing both Harper and Machado.
I think I'm a Harper conspiracist. I think the Braves are secretly in talks to sign Harper.
thank you weso1!
If we were to get Kemp, he'd probably work really hard to get in shape and turn back the clock to gold glove form. Can't discount that factor.

Word comes out that Liberty wants to sell the Braves. Braves pass on two guys who received team friendly contracts for RF. Harper is marketable and could potentially add value to an asset. It is happening.
thank you weso1!
Yeah, just get Harper, trade for Realmuto, and that Bum from SF and play ball.
I'm saying the breakout 110 wRC+ projection in LF isn't very exciting for a team that's trying to contend and it would be, in my opinion, a disappointing result for a contending team filling it's one true hole in the roster during the offseason.
It's totally fine for a team coming out of rebuilding and still willing to turn over roster spots to flyers. Maybe that's where the Braves should still be considered.
I sort of think if they are going to make a move they ought to make a big one, because it isn't like the Twins have any incentive to give him away. We're not talking about Kolby Allard here.
The globalists are coming out strongly against Bryce Harper. Interesting.
thank you weso1!

What if Harper turns out to be globalist too?
