    Nightengale isn't the only one saying this Harper stuff though
    No I know. The Gelb stuff was incredibly detailed. I’m just saying, it’s clearly coming from the team so I wonder if they are just putting pressure on manny to make a decison or what.

    But yeah, Nightengale is the absolute worst. It’s almost a parody at this point t

    That Gelb article is awesome. Athletic subscription pays dividends.

    My take on it now is Johnny Cigar is a fucking genius. Doesn't take much to sway me, I'm easy!

    It's funny to watch how these writers get played by GMs and agents.  Nightengale is horrible.  And holy shit I wish these guys would just sign already....driving me nuts.  Harper to the Phillies and Machado to the Sox...let's do it!

    Johnny Cigar Middleton staring at me
    Riding on 3 wheels, a woman on his knee
    With a leg under the red dress I wish I could see
    Further North the warmth of lovin' lingering
    Now Johnny he be having lots of women
    Oh the reason he'd be smiling known to him
    On the left the girl in red so innocent
    Never sheds her clothes even when she goes to bed
    Yeah the type of girl responsible for original sin
    Can't help but wonder where and who she is
    Oh and the memory's always getting clearer
    First thirty years and more I've loved her so
    But now I need to know why she's with him
    And I sleep with the light on in case she comes
    And I sleep with the light on in case she,
    Recently as I was waiting on a dream
    She came to visit lost and lonely me
    Oh she




    god i hate this album

    Johnny Guitar is horrible.  Agree the album itself doesn't hold up very well.

    Looks like Halladay is a lock for the Hall of Fame.  Awesome pitcher, but pretty sure he is in the 50%-60% range if things didn't end the way they did.

    Yeah I think he'd have ultimately got in, but wouldn't be first ballot (probably at least 4-5 year wait) if he hadn't gone John Denver.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    If 175 is legit, you should definitely get both.  I have not thought that you guys getting both made much sense at closer to $300 or more for each. Of course you could afford it (any team really could), but it would deeeefinitely hamstring you bad in the future and if you don't win immediately or one disappoints, you're in big trouble, especially when guys like Nola and Hoskins are going to have to get paid, but this is getting dumb.
  • The JugglerThe Juggler Posts: 48,884
    I agree Cliff. 7 years 175M? Like, how is this possible? 

    Weirdest off season ever

    If that's true, that's absurd.  But I don't think any of these writers know anything.  I've seen the White Sox offer being anywhere from 7/175M to 8/250M.  I just want it all to end.

    Trade Herrera and put in Quinn and we're good.

    Yeah, Heyman and Passan saying it's not true. I put stock into it since it was Olney, but yeah. He's also not signing for that regardless.

    But I thought you were all about small ball, moving runners over and bunting and pitcher's trying to hit?!?

    Bob Nightengale is a national embarrassment.

    He is the worst.  I'll never forget the night before Stanton got traded, when it was all but done and the trade was done but not announced, he tweeted over and over and over again about how the Yankees were not getting Stanton

    if the agents didn't take 4 months to have their players sign you wouldn't be having these issues.  stop trying to bleed every last dollar and be the last stud to sign and you wouldn't have media reporting on it for 4 months.  Boras is going to bleed every last dollar from a team and will wait as long as possible to get as much as possible. as long as he and other agents do that the media and fans are going to speculate and report as much as they hear.  so fuck whoever wrote that above as they are as much of the problem as the media...end of my rant...

    Agents wouldn’t take 4 months to sign their players if they were getting deals they felt were fair. You would be team ownership 

    And yeah, god forbid someone wants to work for the most money possible. I’m sure you’d just jump at the first offer in your profession.

    Yeah what else are agents supposed to do???  Especially with MLB not having a salary cap.  If I were a player I'd 100% want Boras as my agent.

    i work harder at my job than Manny Machado does.  this guy's player admitted he doesn't hustle. admitted it during a free agency year. i am supposed to feel bad that a guy who admits he is a dog might not get 10 years and $300 million?  puh--leeze

    agents calling out people for integrity is pretty funny. an industry of corrupt and deceitful human beings.  I get their job is to get as much as they can for their clients. i fully understand that but the media's job is to drive interest.  agents use the media as much for their gain as the media uses their clients.  it's bullshit for an agent to call out the media and/or the fans in my opinion.

    Who said anything about feeling bad? Pretty sure I’m never going to feel bad for a guy who is arguing over more money than any of us will ever see. 

    I am sure there are things in your job that ate equilivent to running to first base that you take shortcuts on.
