That's insane. Mike Trout should get about $800M and a few islands when he's up in 2021 if that's the new going rate.
Scott Boras is pretty good at his job.

Looks like the Phillies negotiated against themselves for the final 3-4 years of that deal. Nobody else was offering that long of a contract.
The big winner here is Washington, which now can spend $30 million a year elsewhere, and the other teams that didn't sign an overrated, injury-prone player.

This will not end well. Fun fact: when Harper's deal finally ends in 2032, the Mets will still have 4 more years remaining on Bobby Bonilla's contract. |

The Giants offered him 12 years for $310 million |

The Giants offered him 12 years for $310 million Had not read that, the longest/best offer I saw was Washington's 10/$300M, which he turned down out of hand. Maybe he will prove me wrong but IMHO Washington and the Giants are going to be the winners in the long run. |

Maybe he will prove me wrong but IMHO Washington and the Giants are going to be the winners in the long run. From what has been reported, the Nationals deal included a lot of deferred money, so the "real" value of that contract was less than $300M. These huge long-term deals tend to not work out that well, but it's the price of admission for a few years. I understand the players being suspicious of ownership when they're not getting the huge deals anymore, but it really might just be ownership realizing that huge, long-term deals have a low chance of paying off well for them over the long haul. I'd like to see the next baseball CBA distribute the salaries more evenly. Pre-arbitration guys are severely underpaid, the top free-agents are overpaid, and the minor leaguers are criminally underpaid. |

I remember when A-Rod got his $245 million (or whatever it was). That is when I turned my back on following MLB.
