Harper said he wants to help bring more stars to Philly. If he's willing to lower his AAV, it might be worth extending him. I dont know his exact numbers, but let's just say he has 6 years $180M left at $30M per AAV. He could do a 9 year $234M extension at $26M a year AAV. This gets him an extra $54 million, the team lowers it's tax burden and it's a win-win 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gets him an extra $54 million, the team lowers it's tax burden and it's a win-win The CBA in baseball doesn't allow a restructure of a contract like the NFL. He has 8 more years at around 25 mil per season left on his current deal ending after the 2031 season. The only thing the Phillies could do would be to give him say a 3-year contract extension at say 30 mil per which would have him signed through the 2034 season. Personally, I wouldn't do a damn thing. I love the dude but he's the one who put a no-trade clause in his contract and also didn't put in an opt-out (against Boras's wishes I may add). If he put the opt-out in say after 5 years, he could have done what Machado did and opt-out, then sign a new deal. We are already paying Turner into his 40's which is bad enough. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper can pound sand on this one unless his extension is something nominal like $10m per year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diehardfan Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Dodgers building a super team with the trade and possibly throwing a crap ton of money at Yamamoto as well. Screw the MLB. Meanwhile...the Phillies big move is signing the a-hole who blew game 6. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
