"Harper did not want to play in Philly"
That's why he turned down the Dodgers 4 year offer of $45M per year ($20M more per year than the Phillies offered), which would have put him back into free agency still in his prime at 30 years old and able to sign another massive contract then.
And then proceed to sign a 13 year deal with Philly that has no opt-out opportunities at all and a team friendly AAV that gives the Phillies a lot of flexibility to make big moves in the coming years again.
Bryce Harper's deal isn't even in the top ten of average annual MLB salaries in history, when factoring for inflation. The Phillies have a ton of cap space to play with too still because of how his contract is stretched.
Also, just disregard the fact that Trout is just one of three All-Stars that the Phillies acquired this off-season, and one of the other ones is one of his best friends.
lmao I know you've been around forever, I said that to ruffle some feathers to be honest. Also, when you and Waifu post i get you guys confused because neither of you have an ava, etc and i have sigs removed so i can't see them, etc.
trout not signing with philly literally broke DM.
