    Offer him 4/160 and see what he says

    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.

    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.

    Yeah, just get Harper, trade for Realmuto, and that Bum from SF and play ball.

    The globalists always go with the straw man. Braves are only interested in Harper.

    Frazier isn’t proven either, but I would be in favor of adding him if the value is right as well.

    The Braves aren’t exactly in a position to pick up a sure fire 3 win guy anymore unless AA wants to pay for Haniger.

    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.

    Are the braves really likely to be sold? Wonder if author blanks would have interest

    We actually refer to him as "A". "A" has been saying for a while now that all of the talk to sign McCutchen and Brantley has been a smokescreen. We are in fact formulating a plan to sign Harper.

    That's the risk. A globalist would wind up not meeting his contract demands. A bravest will.
