Just chopping some wood, clearing out the BORAS modeling projections. Here is right field:
BORAS model really thinks Bryce Harper will get a fairly underwhelming deal in comparison to the murmurings of a 400 MM contract for the past few years. Some thought the 10/250 Manny projection felt light and, well, a Harper deal of seven years just shy of a 20 MM annual value will result in some tsk-tsking. Regardless, while he has shown glimmers of brilliance, he also seems to have some shortcomings that undermine that value.
Years Total (MM) Jose Bautista Invite Melky Cabrera 1 7.7 Lonnie Chisenhall 3 31.5 Curtis Granderson 1 11 Carlos Gomez 1 8.1 Carlos Gonzalez 2 14.5 Brandon Guyer 1 7.3 Bryce Harper 7 138.6 Jason Heyward 2 22.4 Matt Joyce 1 11 Nick Markakis 2 17.6 Andrew McCutchen 3 45.6 Hunter Pence Invite Yasmany Tomas 4 46.4
A second interesting note is that BORAS thinks Adam Jones is more valuable than Nick Markakis. I think a lot of folks will disagree with that. I ran an unscientific twitter poll a while back and four to one think Markakis will see a better pay day.
My last thought is on Yasmany Tomas, who will not opt out of his deal. That said, 4/46.4 would not be happening for him.
