Harper wants to play for the Braves so badly he is tanking his FA value so they can afford him.

Wait so (using fangraphs rankings) we trade the number 37 prospect in baseball to start the season, number 60 prospect, and a big upside prospect plus who knows what PTBNL would be involved. For Hamels and a reliever and no money. Or to use Sickels system, 3 B prospects, and a PTBNL. The Phillies trade 29th, 73rd, and a high upside pitcher and a low ceiling pitcher for Machado and reliever. Or a B+, a B and 2 C+ players.
Basically he's saying we should trade more for a more expensive lower quality starting pitcher because we're getting a better reliever? Or does he not value our guys very much?

Yup. And most of the people that consume his content are ignorant baseball fans. No disrespect to anyone but if you aren't aware of surplus value and how it pertains to trades then you are ignorant on the subject. These types of fans likely see no issue with wild claims like this and call in to discuss and tell their friends, etc. Baseball fans that know how these things play out would instantly see that as trash and treat it as such. Think of it as a clickbait article.

Tim Tebow made the Eastern League All-Star team. And while the selection is mostly about marketing, Tebow is actually playing fairly well. Especially when you consider he's a 30 year old with 1 professional season under his belt and his 1st year in AA.
