Harper isn't getting $500. Probably $350 but not $500.I don't know about this. Harper's literally rumored at $500M and Machado is on record as saying he's "lost all respect for that organization," meaning ours, six months ago.
The D-Backs, Dodgers and Giants know JDM's defense is atrocious and would only age worse. Cautiously optimistic we have a shot at him around $150M.
Machado I'm sure would consider $250-$300 as respect for his "healing process" towards the Red Sox. Price said something similar about the Sox and Ortiz. Money solves everything.
