2018 Offseason And Targets

[Heyward]

Manny to the Padres per Passan, here we go.

 

[CJ9]

Now we have to hope someone gets desperate after missing out on Machado and steals Harper from Philly.

 

[Carp]

Bottom line: If any of you guys on here owned a multi million dollar business and offered a good employee great money, but they wanted more and more each year....before long...you would say “God Bless you...go find another employer”.

Harper and Machado both have warts. They think they are Trout. They are NOT EVEN CLOSE.

If my profits were increasing, I should expect the salaries of my employees to go up as well. You pay to keep talent.

 

[Heyward]

10 years/300 mil for Manny, havent seen if it's straight 10/300 with an opt out or not though.

Wow. I didn't think he was going to get that.

The difference being that this hypothetical business probably doesn't have to guarantee that high salary for 3-5 years beyond the end of that worker's productivity for the company, and can terminate that worker pretty much any time if profits evaporate or the worker becomes a net drain on the business.

Damn. Good for him. Harper is about to get $350 million from the Phillies, isn't he?

 

[Heyward]

Opt out after 5 years per Passan.

Yep.

 

[Chico]

So is there an opt out? I'd guess after 3 years there will be one.

It's the single biggest free agent sports contract in American sports. But for how long? lol

After 5 years

 

[Baseball King]

Largest contract in the history of American sports.

After 5 years

He'll be 31. He won't opt out of that

 

[Enscheff]

Padres have to acquire some pitching now, probably by trading an OFer. They could live up well with the Braves in that regard.

 

[Orphan Black]

I'm pretty surprised by that. I wonder what the next highest bid was.
