    The Nationals offered Bryce Harper 10 years at $300 Million.

    He turned it down.

    A piece in USA Today is predicting that Harper will sign with the Phillies.

    I don't really agree with the price tag, but I wouldn't mind having a Harper or a Trout in the Phillies' lineup.

    He wants 13 years at $520 Million? Boras is out of his mind.

    The Phillies should follow the Jake Arrieta model.

    Boras is Boras. I think I've said my piece about that asshole in the past.

    Yeah, they should, but they really want a star. It's folly, but what can you do? We're not running the organization. We can't email them and tell them to play moneyball. Well we could, but they wouldn't listen.

    That's nothing more than pure greed then and I've lost a lot of respect for Harper.

    Then Boras will scream collusion.

    Interesting...DeGrom wins the NL Cy Young Award (almost unanimously getting 29 out of 30 first place votes) despite having a 10-9 win/loss record. The rest of his stats were amazing though, like having a 1.70 ERA in 217 innings.

    Much closer vote on Verlander v Snell.

    Snell deserved it though...first 20 game winner in the majors in 2 years. And he's a young guy too, this was his first full season in the majors.

    I believe first sub 2.0 ERA since the DH?

    Also, do you think Cora screwed Sale out of a Cy Young by sitting him to win a championship? Good call or bad call?

    Pedro was 18-6 with a 1.74 ERA for Boston when he won it in 2000

    I don't know....I don't think Sale could have won regardless because of his off and on stints on the DL in the 2nd half of the season. He needs to stay healthy the whole year. And I'm sure if you asked Sale, he's more than happy with winning the WS versus a Cy Young. Right now anyways.
