After landing marquee free agents Bryce Harper, Andrew McCutchen, and David Robertson last offseason, a new era seemingly begun for Philadelphia baseball. John Middleton and his “stupid money” were planning to buy this team back into the playoffs.
With that notion of free-willed spending understood, one of the prize jewels of this upcoming offseason will be current World Champion Anthony Rendon. Similar to Harper, Rendon is represented by Scott Boras and will no doubt attempt to land what could be the largest contracts for a third baseman in baseball history.
