Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for an upgrade at RF as well. But the hate on my boy is unreal.
Don’t disagree. By all accounts, he should decline significantly at 35.The probability he puts up an average season is incredibly low. He had an awesome two months and was below average the rest of the way.
If we were cash strapped and had other commitments or made a monster trade (like let’s say we signed Donaldson and traded for Haniger and JTR and Ender was involved in one of those) then I’d have little problem. But the fact we brought back a 35 year old singles hitter to play everyday after coming off a division title and making one move is a joke
I can understand wanting to keep Riley/Waters/Pache (and to me Contreras is damn near untouchable) but we could have gotten something pretty good last year with a Gohara/Allard package and those guys have near zero worth on a market and would be consider throw ins. I hate keeping all those pitching prospects.
And 30+ homer power.
It won’t happen, but I’d easily give Bryce 8/240M minimum if I was owning a team.
But he's wanting 300M. It just scares me getting stuck in a long contract that could potentially hinder the team.
The long, excessive contracts ended up hurting Texas(A-Rod), and I bet the Angels regret the Pujols contract
Despise his pouting & whining on the field. Freddie wanting him doesn't change my opinion. Not worth the $$$ IMO & the long-term contracts are absurd. We'll see what happens.How does he act up? Freddie has publicly said he wants Harper on the Braves, if Bryce was such a diva then Freeman wouldn’t want him.
If he’s LH PH and 4th OF that’s a grand slam signing. If he’s starting 140 games in RF, no thanks.He definitely needs to be a bench guy or in a platoon.
