I'd love to know what the Phillies have offered to Machado and Harper.

The last rumor of the ChiSox offer was 7 yrs for 200 million per year.

Is Phillies "stupid money" 10 years for 300 million, and Boras is playing chicken for record contract?

Spring training is starting. There isn't much time left.

You're talking 20 mill a year for 7 years, or 7 years for 200 million total?

I meant 200 million over 7 yrs, but the story is actually 8 yrs, 250 million,

That's a hell of a contract. He probably wanted ten years, but shit, take the money.

Small and mid market teams can't afford to tie up the money these players want. Maybe we need a system like the NFL where players can be cut if they don't preform.
