RBIs are like wins for pitchers.

In 5 or so years when elite players are making $40-50M a year and Bryce is locked in at $25M, I bet a lot of you who are saying "Bryce/Boras won" will be drastically changing your tune.
Congrats to the Phillies. IMO, they are the clear winners here....not Bryce or Boras.

I'm a big fan of shirseys. Going to get me an Ottavino 0

I see where you are going with this but I think it's up for debate.

I think RBIs are more debatable than wins, but they are close. RBIs are not a great statistical measure to judge hitters. They do matter, but not a ton.

Never owned a shirsey, never will. Nothing but authentics in my closet.

No it ain’t. RBIs are an opportunistic stat. It matters so much on where you are batting in the lineup, park dimensions, and how well hitters ahead of you are on base. In terms of actual run creation it has little correlation

I’m glad the Harper saga is over. The Nats will be just fine without him. In fact, I think they will be a better team. It’s time for Victor Robles to flourish.

Mets still had a better offseason than the Phillies?mrdozo
Yes.
The Phillies spent more $, got the sexier name, but the Mets have strengthened their weaknesses.
Our pitching staff has handled Harper decently throughout his career.
Im still picking the Mets to win the Pennant.

Right there with you. I rock NBA 90s jerseys (Dan Majerle black Suns is a go to, as is my turquoise Grant Hill) in the summer at the beach/ pool.
Soccer jerseys are SO easy to pull off.

What's the debate? It's dependent on players getting on base in front of the batter which is completely out of the batter's control.

Philadelphia ain't playing games man.... getting stars and making big moves in every sport. This Phillies team will be fun to watch. Reports are they are in on Keuchel still also but on a short term deal only. If they pull that off

I'll buy a Shirsey if I like the player but not enough to buy the jersey.
I need a yankees road jersey, though.
Looking at a Frank Thomas road grey as well.

He’s a moron if that’s true lol boras screws his clients over. Only reason he didn’t take that four year deal would be boras selfish *** wanting the 330 mill for the commission. Common sense says two shorter deals in a row would’ve amounted to far more money.

Guaranteed money vs what if money
It’s hard to leave $150 mil on the table. Granted he could easily make that IF he were to perform, but maybe he’s not confident he would

Main thing was him wanting to stay with 1 team for the rest of his career
Never was going short term
