Phillies get Harper

[GNG]

He was triggered when the Eagles won the Super Bowl.

Actually the Patriots won the last Super Bowl but thanks for playing...

So what's the guarantee on this contract ?

A hit is more important than a walk.

it is, but OBP is more important than batting average. and batting average is only part of OBP.

13 year 330 million.

13 year 330 million.

Yeah I saw the full contract, was just wondering how it's structured as far as guaranteed money .... If he's released early, or has some major injury etc...

Harper’s deal includes a no-trade clause, no opt-outs, and no deferred money. Harper showed that he wanted long-term security and the confidence of knowing he would be playing for one team. The no deferred money is also key — that means he will receive all $330 million in the 13 years, making that money more valuable in present dollars (due to inflation) than if he were paid part of that money beyond the length of his contract. Keep in mind, just because he has a no-trade clause does not mean he won’t ever be dealt; it just means he has to be consulted first and approve a trade before it happens.

This is baseball. All contracts are guaranteed. If the Phillies decide to release him after this season, they're still on the hook for the entire contract.

The only way he doesn't get that 330 over 13 is if he retires early.

 

[broncosmitty]

Well he's no Miguel Cabrera

This is more than true.

For non medical reasons.

Prince Fielder is the Tigers fourth highest paid player in 2019. Hasn't played since July 3016.

Texas is paying three former Tigers and one current one to not play for Texas.

WOW, gotcha...

Ah ok, Harper must be a happy man right now...

 

[skinzfan]

he's a big Cowboys fan, they'll love him in Philly.

 

[redseat]

Good to know he is playing in Philly and not Washington..... Slip of the tongue in his presser. Granted the media went crazy for it. Dude's aloud to make a mistake

 

[fightinfunbags]

Lot of fun hot takes to look back on here.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Well yes, that was mostly tongue-in-cheek but the point stands that a lot of this is based off of hype rather than production.

Funny take from the Pirates guy

 

[fightinfunbags]

the Soto/Robles vs. Harper narrative should be fun

Looks like Harper quit on an unserious organization.
