Cant afford/justify paying Bryce Harper $25 million/yr through age 36 while still getting his prime seasons.
Totally cool with paying Paul Goldschmidt $27 million/yr through age 36 WITHOUT getting his prime seasons, but only after giving up significant prospect capital. Oh, and then getting into the market for David Price at $31 million/yr through age 36 coming off an injury plagued disaster of a season.
This front office is unbelievably stupid and short-sighted. Rendon's going to get probably 5-6 million/season more than Harper and he's nowhere near the long-term asset Harper would've been.
But Mozeliak "couldn't put all his eggs in one basket" so we'll just roll Fowler, Bader and Lane Thomas as our outfield. But hey, I'm sure Goldy will save the day!
