Offer Harper $300-$350 million in day one of FA. Any chance of that happening than a couple of months ago?
Or are these podcasters talking out their ass?

Who are these surplus position players? What pitchers? I don’t see great value in Ozuna unless he comes back and finishes strong with more consistent power, then yes I think some American League teams may have some interest where if his arm starts to fall off again at least he could DH.
They can certainly put an attractive package together with the pitching they have. I’m not sure we will ever be able to pull off a Kent Bottenfield for Edmonds type trade again with all the analytics available, but there are still some stupid front office guys out there.
