Never happen
He needs a big offseason, last year was a flop for him.Scott Boras blowing smoke up everyones ass....
This. Boras always full of shit.Scott Boras blowing smoke up everyones ass....
Was absolutely comical when people thought there was some kind of competition between he and trout. Trout may end up being the best ever, harpers had one great season and the rest he was just a good corner outfielder. He doesnt belong in the same stadium as trout.he ks too much, terrible teammate in clubhouse. overrated

Here is what we do know. Well, educated and sophisticated opinions..
3. Cubs - Harper and Bryant are homies. They suck each other off since their teenage years. Not sure how much Cubs can pay but if they somehow can, winning and friendship takes priority here. He will wind up playing for Chicago if they can work something out.
ThisNo argument. But as long as the Cubs have that BRUTAL Jason Heyward contract they might not be able to offer as much as would be needed knowing how many players they have coming up down the line that will need to be paid. Word had it Bryant turned down a $200M deal. So we know it will take at least $25)M or more to sign him. Then you start looking at contracts for players like; Rizzo, Baez, and more and now the Cubs payroll escalates rather quickly. And let's not forget (Something I know Cubs' fans would love to do) Yu Darvish is getting $21M a year for FIVE MORE YEARS!
I just don't see how Harper's contract can be brought in knowing how many more "mouths they have to feed" down the line
Arrieta also wanted to stay with the cubs and Boras promised Jake a Scherzer-type contract. Boras only wants Harper to go to Chicago so he can parlay that contract into the Bryant contract in a couple of years.i just feel there is some truth behind what Boras said. I believe Harper wants to join the Cubs. He’s alway had some weird connection and love for the city. Always sporting Chicago gear, showing up to events.
It’s just a matter of if the Cubs can make it happen. Yeah, that Darivish contract, a big disappointment so far.
This
Harper will land in Philly or SF.
One way that both land in Philly is if they want to trade arrieta. They do have young pitching, need bullpen help bad.I think Harper OR Machado will end up in Philly. After all he did this postseason for the Dodgers, I sense Manny's value went down a tad. Philly makes the most sense because going to SF would be a pure "money grab" since that team won't be competitive for some time. Borass may want Harper to go to the Cubs so he and Bryant can play on the same team but if he does the money available for Bryant and more might not be there

I don’t think they have to eat any, but you can get a better prospect if so. There are teams like StL, Atl, possibly Mil that would take him.2 years for Jake at $25M is not thaaaaaat bad of a deal. If they "eat" some of it might be even easier to move him

Its always the players decision in the end.In the end it’s Harpers decision. What Harper says goes. Hes done enough already in the league to warrant this.

Winky - good point about the Dodgers if CK opts out. I think he would be a fool to leave a pitchers park though.
Going to the SF Giants - done deal.
Boras don't care as long as he gets paid.Would Harper want to? RF is brutal to LH pull power at AT & T.
