Padres payroll only up to 110mm. They could get Harper too.

Re: MLB 2018.2: Postseason, Free Agency, and Awards
Because taking up so much of your salary by one player is a bad bet. It’s always been a bad bet. In basketball, fine. You have five guys. In every other sport there’s no way a single player can make that big of an impact.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

In the AL it's been more of a mixed bag. Maybe half the time the highest paid player was on a division winning team, half they weren't.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

But star talent can make you a contender for your division or to make the playoffs, which in turn puts butts in the seats throughout the season.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

As somebody pointed out, there's no salary cap and if you're the MLB equivalent of the Saudis you don't give a sh-t about the luxury tax. You just raise the Yes subscription price.
I think the rule we have learned about free agency is: don't half as-s it. Either plead poverty and milk your city and fans for cheapo dollars while putting sh-t on the field (30% of the ML), or go all in and rake it in (Boston, NY(A), LA, Chi (N), and now good lord maybe Philadelphia???) Both models work. What doesn't work is skimping and then covering yourself by paying one big dawg.
What doesn't work is San Diego signing Machado. That's f-cking stupid. Unless they sign Harper and trade the farm for Thor.Last edited by Kepler; 02-20-2019, 01:01 PM.Cornell University

They really just need 1 or 2 of their million pitchers to pan out. Then they'll be competitve.PSNetwork / XBOX GamerTag: xJeris
