Only 27. Might not turn out bad. If he opts out you got three good years (most likely)and can let him go at age 30.

Comparing it to the deals price and greinke just got, it looks good. Especially given the age difference. Extension always gonna look different than free agency, but still.

I think last time this came up I might actually have predicted 10 years, $500 million. A hundred million here, a hundred million there...

You know Boras is going to milk it for every penny.

No way Harper get $50 million per year on any contract with any team. He's good but I don't think any player will ever receive that amount of money period in MLB.

Somewhere around $25-$30 million per year isn't out of the question though for sure. Definitely nothing above $35 million per year but I think the deal would be more around $30 million per year instead.

Something like a 6 year $180 million contract with player options involved with whatever team he signs with but I would find it hard to believe that the Nationals would allow him to ever go anywhere else to play. He's just too good.

If I knew you in real life I'd be trying to get you to wager a lot of money on this.

The Nats just gave a pitcher with a history of injuries $25 million a year, and pitchers are WAY more readily available then players like Bryce Harper are. Harper's going to get way north of $30 million. Maybe 50 is too high, but it's going to be closer to that than 30. The TV money-fueled salary inflation is nowhere near done yet.

I have to disagree with you on Harper's amount. I don't ever see any MLB player sign a contract worth $50 million per year. Players like Harper usually get somewhere between $25-$30 million per contract. Trout for instance got what $25 million per in his last deal that signed him thru 2020?

Is Harper that much better than Mike Trout? I don't think so but he's a little younger for sure but only by 1 year. Trout is 24 & Harper is 23. They are both very similar in talent.

Trout might be the weaker of the 2 in fielding but they're close. Trout & Harper are very close in power even though Harper had a breakout HR season in 2015. They're also very close in hitting overall(average).

Based on this comparison there's no way Harper can get more than $30 million per if you ask me. If he gets more than $30 million per then I'm going to faint & many other MLB players will do the same. :p

You're thinking solely in terms of today's money rather than looking at the overall trend of huge salary inflation. Trout signed his deal two years ago. Only a year and a half later Jason Freaking Heyward was already getting more or less the same amount Trout did. And Harper still has two more seasons to go before he hits free agency. By the time he hits the open market it will have been five years since Trout signed his extension.

Some of the inflation is already baked in. Clayton Kershaw's already got a contract that's going to be paying him $35 million a year when Harper hits free agency. You don't think Harper's going to make significantly more than him?

"Players like Harper"
Bruh this dude is a once in a lifetime talent.
And Trout's deal is nothing like what he would command as a free agent. The Dodgers get something stupid like 200 mil a year in tv money. A dude like Trout or Harper could just pick a number.

Only good time for your 8 week old to need a 1:15 am feeding?

When it perfectly coincides with the last 5 minutes of the 4th and OT.
