Did I say that I hate the SF Giants?

I hate the SF Giants. Oh, and their sellout streak was fake too. Ours was better and longer, they exaggerated the numbers, so fuck them even more.

Morosi: In Bryce Harper talks, I am told #Dodgers were willing to offer a four-year deal worth approximately $45 million per season. That would have allowed Harper to shatter the all-time AAV record and become a free agent at age 30. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Man, am I glad that Harper really wanted to stay in one place and only do this process once.

Heyman dropping some 'Harper could've had 300m and optouts but preferred Phillies' nuggets.

I'll admit that I didn't read this right at all. It sure looked like Middleton was being played by Boras to get a bigger deal out of SF or LAD. Especially after the main story in the LA Times sports section was for the Dodgers to step up and get Harper from the Giants since the Phillies were out of it. Moral: don't trust the "Tweeters".

It's gotta suck to go through this process every few years especially when you're just starting a family.

I hate the Dodgers too. Mainly because of Magic Johnson. Dude thinks he can just waltz in and get whatever he wants. The Lakers are falling apart in front of his eyes, LeBron was a mistake, they're gonna hate him out there by the time he retires, and the Dodgers aren't gonna get over the hump either.

It seems Bryce values commitment and loyalty alot more than people expected. His whole plan was to find one team for the rest of his career, he probably felt that a short deal like that might be great numbers wise but he'd essentially be used up and thrown away.

I am going to miss Harper’s uncanny ability to ignore the cutoff man.

Like the Bobby Bonilla of the Phillies comment, as the Nats got the most deferred money in baseball

I'm looking forward to the Phillies and Braves rising and the Nationals slowly falling back down to earth hopefully over the next several years. Getting things back to the way they're supposed to be. DC is a horrible baseball town and it was maddening that they ever had a good team to begin with.

I think that Realmuto deal was critical. It allowed us to show Bryce what we were capable of doing and our commitment to win.

I also think we are gettting trout and that helped too.

And apparently were trying to make deferred payments to Harper until he was 60 on their final offer.

He is who some of you thought he is. He went all in the for the most money down to every last dollar. (I was wrong.) What an jerk.

He will regret this decision for the rest of his life. No opt outs, either. He's stuck in Philthyadelphia.

"an jerk"

And they WILL turn against him. Those mfers booed Mike Schmidt. They booed Chase Utley. They booed Ryan Howard. They will boo Bryce Harper.

OK, when was Utley EVER booed here? The others....OK.

Heyman on MLB Network regrets saying Bryce isn't enthusiastic about playing in Philly.

I don't think the end result makes the above statement incorrect.
