Why do I think that there is virtually no chance that the Dodgers will sign Bryce Harper this winter? Primarily because I do believe the leaked report that the Dodgers will not go over the CBT threshold for the next four years. I believe the Dodgers are looking at next year’s salaries and next year’s FA class and saying that it makes much more sense to wait one year before they even consider signing a top FA. There are only two elite offensive players in this year’s group of FA; Bryce Harper and Manny Machado. What makes them especially elite is their age.
2019 or 2020
