    10 bill per year. 300 mil/ 10 years. So 30 mil out of 10 bill.

    Guys like Greinke and Pujols are to blame for the upper bar expectations being too high, guys who were clearly overpaid.

    not suggesting the owners don't make money but if 10 year contracts become the norm for above average players its big
    and i'm not defending owners because no doubt they wouldn't do jack if they didn't have to like Gebbeth said
    how many guys will think they deserve that 30mil out of 10bil?
    and i doubt that 10b figure is after all the stuff debited but maybe it is
    theres plenty of money to go around no question but i just take it back to businesses i've run
    and i would be willing to bet the percentages everyone thinks the owners make is much lower than the reality
    if it was just a hemorrhaging cash cow mcfuckingcornhole would have survived right?

    Andrew Toles is not at camp today and there is no set time for him to show up. He is dealing with a personal matter and he has the team's "full support". Not sure what it is, but Toles does have a bit of a history with some behind the scenes issues, so I hope everything is ok for him. This was an incredibly important camp for him as he had a strong chance of making the 25 man roster with Verdugo looking like he is heading back to OKC...again.

    I'm willing to wager a lot of money that the Dodgers FO would love to add Bryce Harper, but this one isn't their call. Fingers should point squarely at the owners when it comes to big money FA's.

    With Bellinger supposedly getting the lion's share of pt in RF, it is highly unlikely(or just plain dumb) to carry Verdugo on the active roster as a bench bat. From the looks of it, there will be a platoon in LF of Joc and one of Taylor/Hernandez. They always say there is playing time for everyone, but Verdugo is not as versatile as the other bench bats on the roster and the guys currently ahead of him, clog some of their options.

    If Bryce signs with another team on an eight year contract for about $250-280, I’m gonna be pissed at this FO. That should be doable on our side.

    We are the LA Dodgers everything should be doable. If we survived the McCourt era then we should survive Harper

    That is the rumored offer for Machado. Harper is said to have multiple offers north of 10yrs and $300M

    The day the franchise died
    Gonna be really difficult to get excited to sit through 162 with this team in 2019. Just as it was last season.
    89-93 win teams will not win the world series anymore.
    Either put together a super team or dont bother.

    fuck the owners
    fans pay hard earned money to see the players
    harper is worth the cost and someone will pay the price to get him
    if that wasn't the case there wouldn't be multiple offers north of 10/$300mm already on the table for him
    supply and demand, simple as that
    no excuse for the dodgers not to be in on harper -- none whatsoever

    The Dodger FO reminds me of that rich but cheap-ass dumpster diving uncle.

    Say what you want but if he still had the Dodgers and this TWC contract he'd have signed Harper, just like how he re-signed Manny. He understood LA.

    Yeah, I understand your point. Bryce May only be good for 5 of those 10 years.

    Not exactly the right comparison, but if in those five years we won 3 WS like the Gnats did and then sucked for the next five (like the current Gnats) I’d take it.

    Maybe I underestimate Bryce but I don't think he's our savior and our answer to titles.

    Hmm... interesting bit from Rosenthal is that the White Sox, Padres and Phillies view Machado as their top choice, so I wonder if he signs first now or if that maybe gives some indication of where Harper may be leaning.
