A Conversation About Signing Bryce Harper

Hi Moshe,

Our last debate was so good I thought we should have another one. The Bryce Harper derby is entering the homestretch and there are still a few Cubs links to him. Many around baseball are predicting the ex-Nat could make over $350 million on his new contract.

I’ll make two caveats: First, I definitely think teams can afford to pay that and free agents should get all they can. Second, I’m setting aside any budget concerns that may or may not be on Theo Epstein for the purposes of this conversation.
