I think they’re just trying to get the best of both worlds if possible As a Nats fan, I just don’t get it though? I love Harper and he’s a good player but he hasn’t even been our best player for a few years now. I mean, I guess the extra revenue he brings is nice but I don’t think other teams fans realize what they’re actually getting in Harper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't want Harper but I represent a minority among Dodger fans. As for the revenue yes the jersey sales would be nice but the stadium already sells out and the TV deal is done for many many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case scenario for fans of NL teams not named the Dodgers. We should be hoping they stake it all on Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see them moving Puig before the trade deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the pieces to trade for both of those guys, and their revenue could easily sustain blowing past the LT tax threshhold every year.

Plaschke is horrible and hates Puig more than Giants fans do. He also can't help but be negative overall about the Dodgers and anything else he covers.

At his best he's a top-5 player in baseball and he's 26, we haven't had a free agent like that since ARod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One doesn't want to raise rates or something so they won't pay for their channel and it cuts off a lot of the fans from watching on TV. I could be wrong but I think that's what it's about.
