Ya, Harper is a Cubs fan, and he's really good friends with Bryant. I just don't see how the Cubs can afford it without going over the luxury tax, though.

Despite what Buster Olney says, the PhiIIies aren't interested in Harper. Machado and Trout, yes.

I’d take that deal if they sent Eloy Jimenez along with Heywards contract

Greg Holland signs with Cardinals ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — Asheville resident Greg Holland, the most prominent free agent to go through the entire offseason without being signed, inked a one-year deal with the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. The former McDowell High and Western Carolina pitcher, who has developed into one of the game’s top closers, will get $14 million for the 2018 season. The righthander saved 41 games – tied for the most in the National League - for the Colorado Rockies last season and helped lead the team into the playoffs, and then turned down a one-year option for $15 million. He sat out the 2016 season after Tommy John surgery. Before the All-Star break, Holland saved 28 games in 29 chances with a 1.62 ERA last season. After the break, he was 2-5 and converted 13 of 16 save chances with a 6.38 ERA. While helping the Kansas City Royals to consecutive World Series appearances in 2014-15, he saved 125 games from 2013-15. wlos.com/sports/content/beyond-the-scoreboard-greg-holland-signs-with-cardinals

I'm not a gambler but if I were betting against Harper to the Cubs seems like easy money. They have too many OFs already, there're not gonna be able to move the bad contracts, he would put them over the lux tax for the foreseeable future, and they are gonna have to start paying their young stars soon.

I don't think they're paying Schwarber much yet, but I'd be willing to bet they'd move him in a heartbeat. Did you see the two plays he made in the OF yesterday? He makes Matt Adams and Matt Kemp look like Willie Mays. Wow, they are going to suffer in the long run trying to play him out there.

I didn’t see the plays, but now I want to see if I can find clips of something that makes Kemp look like Mays!

Schwarber is really one dimensional -- not a guy Mr A is looking for given the kind of athletes he has gotten in to date
Doubt we will ever be interested -- he might be Frank Howard (real old school, mid to late 60's and early 70's ) in the field
BTW -- guess one of the administrators posted me an avatar picture -- not bad looks mean enough
