Nah they'd want prospects back i would presume if Bryce went to LA, they have plenty of SP. Ryu, Kershaw, Buehler, Maeda, Hill, Urias is healthy, amongst others.Originally Posted by TheRunningAgent

Makes sense. I was thinking how the tables turn on Philly fans if Harper goes to LA and we get Pederson as a result. Then, we sign Kimbrel for 2 years. :)
No way that even get close to happening, and if it did, we'd have to fork over several prospects.
Still, I'd love to have Pederson. I get the "no need for another lefty" narrative, but he'd be a great pick-up for a spot starter and/or added bench piece. That power would play well in SunTrust.
At this point, I think that's about as ideal as it would get for us. Though I'm still personally on board for Keuchel. I think he'd set up really well in our rotation. don't @ me.
Just messaged you.
I'd happily do Allard for Pederson.

All very true and market size means less now in a more tightly nationalized economy that it did a generation or two ago, but there's still more cache in playing in LA than playing in Philly (or Atlanta or Minnesota or Houston, etc.). New York and LA are still the creme de la creme of sports markets and that is likely playing into Harper's thinking at some level.
dodgers are far too smart to consider that for even a second.

He done
Dodgers should have let him walk when he opted out

Got a lot of mileage on that arm and there were signs last season it was taking its toll.

No.
If they actually were able to get Harper on the shorter deal, suddenly a Kluber trade would make a lot of sense too. Dodgers get Kluber to guard against more Kershaw troubles, Indians get Pederson, Verdugo, and maybe a throw-in arm and solve their OF issues. Would make them really left-handed at times, but Lindor, Ramirez, and Santana are all switch-hitters and Chang or Ramirez could slide over to 2B in Kipnis' place when they wanted an extra RH bat in the lineup.

Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
In other news, former Brave Rob Whalen has retired at the age of 25 because of depression and anxiety. I feel bad for the kid having to give up his dream for a non-injury related reason.
Did he actually opt out? I thought all that came of it was really just adding another year for around 30 million.
Unfortunately, not everyone can handle the mental aspects of playing professional sports.
it could be a lot more than the pressure of professional sports.

Good, he won't be in Philly or NYM
