Mike Mazzeo, writing for Forbes Sports Money, thinks that Joe Tsai has to sign Joe Harris. Harris’ free agency is too much of a milestone for Tsai’s ownership, he says.
Noting that Harris is the “first free agent of significance in the Tsai era” — the “Clean Sweep” officially took place while Mikhail Prokhorov was owner although Tsai obviously signed off on it — Mazzeo argued, “it’s incumbent on Tsai to make sure the franchise keeps its essentially homegrown, low-maintenance floor-spacer in the fold, which would set a strong precedent going forward.”
It’s going to be expensive.
