Who would have thought that Nolan Arenado would end up signing the best deal out of anyone this offseason?
Why did he settle for 25 a year AAV? Is it performance laced? Well get a full no trade clause. And he didn't want an opt out. Phillies looking good but i dont think it'll be enough.
Really not much better than what the Nationals initially offered him. But he got his long contract.
It's basically just deferred money. He wasn't going to get $25m for his age 36-39 seasons so might as well just have him signed for it even if he isn't worth $25m at that point
Fook yeah Phillies, lets go! And no opt outs needed!- just shows how much of a BS bluffer Boras is. The Phillies obviously had the right money on the table from the start (and all reports indicated they were the only team that would offer $330 mill at 10+ years, and they clearly were fine with accepting that but obviously they opted to "listen" to lighter offers from Giants/Dodgers to try and get Philly to think he was slipping away and cave even more.
Ouch. Yeah that's much better. 100m deffered is a lot. Even if it could turn to like 300m after deferred.
I wish my personal life was in a situation where 1 million a year is "really not a lot of money" :P
I am super curious to see if the Phils make more moves this year.
I was going to say something about being a world class athlete but it's Bobby Bonilla
In 2035 $1MM will be like pocket change, we will find it under our seats at the movies.
I bet that's why he didn't sign with Giants and Dodgers. They probably wanted Opt Outs. Esentially if Bryce gets hert and doesn't return to his form they'll be stuck with him and that contract. Still he got paid though.
Teams don't want player opt outs. You can safely assume that the Phillies deal was either sub-Stanton money with opt outs or the current contract with no opt outs and Boras/Harper took the latter.
yup. Opt outs are always a bad thing for a team.
Either a player is doing better than their contract and thus opts out wanting more money
or they are doing equal to or worse than their contract and don't opt out.
why would a hurt player opt out lol.
Opt out are NEVER beneficial to the team
I doubt the Dodgers or Giants (their new GM comes from the Dodgers) had any interest in giving him 10-13 years, opt outs or not.
True. They're both cut from the same cloth. They were probably willing to lik 8 year max with a higher AAV.
I don't follow baseball super closely, but can anyone explain why he decided to do a 13 year contract?
I thought that he and his agent was wanting to make him the highest paid player in MLB. This doesn't do that.

stupid phillies using financial resources to sign an awesome player that will help them win a lot of games
highest total amount, which is reportedly what he wanted
Well more power to him I guess.
But good lord he is gonna be the most hated guy in baseball now lol
