Just when you thought this clown was out of the NL West...
I think Rosenhaus is going to rue his silly $400MM salary demands. Anyway, it was just a money grab for him personally. No NL club is going to sign Harper or Machado to a 10-year deal.

Even if it's eight years, it's a crap shoot that he will live out that contract. The Halos made this mistake with Albert Pujols. And his contract is way back-loaded, so no idiot anywhere in MLB is willing to trade for that. Hell, the Cardinals offered Pujols a 5-year deal that was front-loaded. so what are you gonna do with Harper on an NL team when his knees are jell-o and you still owe him a king's ransom.

It's just crazy. Rosenhaus tried this stunt with T.O. in the NFL, and it way backfired.

there's been a lot of talk lately about teams showing short-term interest, but barring some wild offer (200M-plus, 4 years?), Harper is only considering long-term deals. 1 interested GM said Team Bryce made clear that teams had to profess they'd go long to even get a meeting.

Phillies have offered Bryce Harper over $300M but word is others are over $300M, too. they believe they may have high bid but their confidence to win was dented a tad by emergence of LA (a desired Harper spot). Philly has to decide whether to keep faith or dip into the stupid $

According to Jon Heyman, Arenado is now the highest paid ever position player. 32.5 Million average.
