My thing is - does one player make them a contender?

Heyman is throwing shit at the wall for Boras. He's been very unreliable.

Heyman is on Boras's payroll.

The Giants are out, as are the Nats.

It's the Phillies or the Padres.

One player in addition to the solid outfielder, shortstop and catcher they've added so far would.

Especially if they then get Keuchel and/or Kimbrel on a discount.

Baseball is a very different game than I grew up with. To think the highest contract in the history of the game going to a guy who hit .249 with 32 HR’s and 100 RBI’s who has never won anything is crazy.

OPS is now the measure of a slugger.

Even in a down year in 2018 his was .889 which I believe ranked 11th in the NL.

Also, keep in mind this is largely about marketing. Imagine how much $$$ Middleton will make on Harper merchandise and a massive jump in attendance. Contract will probably pay for itself.

they need a left handed starter. they arent a serious contender until they address that probem.
