Shouldnt start to hurt til year 8 or 9 I'll happily give that to Rendon, and STILL be better than Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted to beat Stanton's record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect he'll be prime tradebait by the time he's 30-32 depending on how the Phillies are doing. Still in his prime, with a reasonable remaining salary. This was a good deal for the Phillies assuming he doesn't get hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a DUMB contract for a player that is 26. He won't hit the open market again. Boras should never sign another player. Why not sign a 5 year/$170-175M contract and hit UFA at 31? Stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are paying him a bunch the next couple years when their commitments are low, and they are going to have control of him for years in his prime at reasonable AAV amounts. 2 minutes ago, DCSaints_fan said: I'm reading a full no trade clause.

I mean he would hit FA again at 31 and would have to make 160 over 8 more years to come out even. Also, with a 5 year contract during his absolute prime, he may have been able to up the AAV past 34-35 mil. 13 for 330 with no opt out seems like a pretty bad contract designed solely to beat Stanton's record imo.

He needs to do better than maintain production. His recent WAR, batting average and declining defense at $25m per year is not a steal by any means.

If any outcome other than that happens (injury, decline, inconsistency before a contract year), it's smart for Harper. Basically, he took a ****ton of guaranteed money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) I am genuinely shocked by the no opt outs. That sum**** is going to go into the HOF as a philly.
