It's not my money.

I'm just excited that the Phillies are relevant again. I'd like to see another WS parade or two or three before my time on planet earth comes to an end.

Be great to have a guy OPS over 1.000

Now just have enough pitching and manage a good bullpen and we can really make a run.

Congrats to all Phillies phans everywhere!

As for #, I'd let him have 34 if he wants it, but I'd rather him make a # switch to reflect this new team and chapter of his career. ( no disrespect to Doc)

If it is between Kuechel and Kimbrel and you can get them to reasonable deals do you get Kimbrel to try to shorten the games with a stacked bullpen?

Zolecki says "unlikely" on Kimbrel and Keuchel btw, though he did hedge in the event one wants a short-term deal

IMO yes
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

Boras on no opt-outs in Harper's 13/$330M deal: "He wanted to go to one city, stay there, build a brand and identity and recruit players. He wants to tell players: come play with me. He knows it will help winning more if he's with one team the whole time."

This is accurate. Told you guys in one of the other threads the Phils want both for under 3 years. Or 2 with a team option.

Bryce wants to "recruit players."

Oh hi, Mike Trout.

Great deal for the Phillies and Harper. I can't believe there is no opt-out.
