Bryce Harper. Obviously there's risk that Harper becomes disliked by the Phillies fan base, or that the Phillies themselves fail to maintain a good enough roster around him to compete annually.

Harper could have easily exceeded Zack Greinke's record $34.4 million average annual value on a short-term deal and had another bite at the free-agent apple before he hit 30 years old. It also remains to be seen if the Phils would entirely abandon the idea of competing in 2021, or whether they would try the even more difficult strategy of trying to add pieces to contend even while in the midst of this “financial crunch.” Olney opines that it’s at least possible the Phillies would reallocate any money saved in a Wheeler trade towards trying to re-sign J.T. Boras did this with a lukewarm market that featured few other known suitors, and at a time when teams are so hesitant to plop down real money that they're facing collusion accusations. In another last-minute move to shore up their bullpen, the Nationals traded Aaron Fletcher for Hunter Strickland of the Mariners, NBC Sports Washington's Todd Dybas confirms. Instead, though, they’ve locked up yet another October-less season with just a few days to go. Trevor Bauer is the only free agent pitcher projected to earn more than $96.5MM on the open market this offseason, and that assumes Bauer takes a longer-term deal rather than a shorter-term contract with a higher average annual value. In his final season as a National, Harper combined for hideous numbers between center and right field, where he totaled minus-26 Defensive Runs Saved, a minus-14.4 Ultimate Zone Rating and minus-13 Outs Above Average.

Phillies could seek Bryce Harper trade amid financial crunch Bryce Harper could be the next to join Jean Segura and Zack Wheeler on the Phillies trade block.

In the end, that’s exactly what happened. What the Dodgers do have to worry about is encountering Harper in the postseason, and also making it to the postseason without Harper in their lineup. Either way, Harper is the much-needed centerpiece of the offseason and now of the lineup. It’s easy to view the Yankees’ winning bid as a harkening back to the days of New York as the evil empire, but the reality is actually much more frightening, The Dodgers, it’s worth noting, made a real push for Cole. He should also enjoy being surrounded by the likes of Andrew McCutchen, Rhys Hoskins, J.T. Covering the impact of coronavirus on the sports world. The rest of the pitching market could unstick rather quickly, and the Blue Jays are having to factor in their new reality of having to face Cole four or five times a year for the next decade, writes Ben Nicholson-Smith of sportsnet.ca.

The other two prospects were a pitcher in the lower minors and catcher Garrett Stubbs “was in play” to be the third piece, Rosenthal noted. If you ask Phillies star Bryce Harper, the team needs to do what it takes to retain backstop J.T. Of course, baseball economics make that a somewhat suspect goal, as there’s a decent chance Franco will not be arbitration eligible yet in that timespan, and even if he were, the largest contract given out by the Rays is the six-year, $100MM deal given to Evan Longoria. It wouldn't be so bad if the Cubs had made substantial upgrades, but all ownership seemed interested in doing was crying broke.

There's no way of knowing for sure, but it stands to reason he would've preferred the same total (or greater) over a shorter term -- thus threatening or breaking the all-time record. Keep in mind: Harper, 25, is a free agent at season's end, making him a rental much like fellow superstar Manny Machado, who was traded from the Orioles to the Dodgers on July 18.

This comp pick ended up falling after the fourth round (since the Nats exceeded the luxury tax threshold in 2018) though Washington actually forfeited this pick regardless — the Nationals had to give up their second- and fifth-highest picks in the draft as compensation for signing Patrick Corbin, another QO free agent. Now 79-80 and in the throes of another uninspiring late-season finish, it appears the club will be fortunate just to post its first .500 campaign since 2012.

Scott Boras: Again, you're going down as a winner almost anytime someone guarantees one of your clients $330 million.
