Harper Signing Update

The Philadelphia Phillies are about to sign Bryce Harper. They've decided it's time for a serious playoff push, watch out baseball; this could be the next successful rebuild- the next Cubs or Astros.

Bryce Harper Should Sign With The Angels

If Bryce Harper chooses to be financially flexible, he should sign a short term deal with the Los Angeles Angels. Mike Trout is the best player in baseball and in his seven year career, the Angels have only made the playoffs once. Trout is a free agent in 2020 and if the Angels continue down the path that they're on, then Trout will leave them for another team. I suggest that the Angels do what the Cleveland Cavaliers did before LeBron was a free agent, stack their team with whoever their superstar wants and hope this encourages them to stay. The Angels have proven this is strategy they're willing to pursue, however, all their risky adds have flunked, first baseman Albert Pujols, outfielder, Justin Upton, third baseman, Zack Cozart, catcher, Jonathan Lucroy, the list of disappointments continues. If the Angels can make enough cuts and save enough money to make an effort to get Harper, and Harper chooses them, then the Angels (for the first time in awhile) may not under pe

Ranking Landing Spots For Harper

The most coveted free agent in MLB history is still left on the market without a contract on February 12. Outfielder, Bryce Harper is seeking $300 million for ten years, and a team with the potential to win a World Series. Harper was drafted by the Washington Nationals to be the face of their organization when he was just 18 years old. He grew to be the face of the MLB. In his free agency stunt, he is hoping to sign for a big market team where he can remain the face of baseball and if possible, he'd like to live on the West Coast. This article will establish bold predictions of the top ten most likely landing spots for Harper. 1. San Diego Padres San Diego makes the most sense for Harper. They are the only West Coast who will presumably be willing to spend up for him. Despite the fact that San Diego has been the laughing stock of the MLB for awhile now, they have nine of the top 100 prospects, THAT IS UNHEARD OF. Plus, since the Chargers moved away, the only sports team in

Where Will Le'Veon Bell Land?

Free agent Le'Veon Bell practicing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Everyone that knows anything about football knows Le'Veon Bell is surely a top five running back in the NFL and has been for a while now. It's very rare for any player as accomplished as Bell to not sign a contract extension and be available on the free agent market, so teams should be head over heels to sign him, right? Well, it's more complicated than that. Bell has been known as single-minded, motivated by money. That's the reason he didn't sign an extension with the Steelers, he believed that he was valuable enough that a different team would be willing to pay him more than the Steelers would. Bell sat out the entire 2018 season to preserve his body to get the best contract possible. Doing so, he passed up on $14.544 million to not play for the Steelers. Also, he proved he may not be as great as we all thought, his backup, sophomore running back, James Conner took the world by storm, ru

Is Jared Goff a Bust?

Los Angeles Rams' Quarterback, Jared Goff With Rams' quarterback, Jared Goff's dreadful performance in the most important game in his career, I now question is Goff what we all originally thought, a bust? In order to fully understand the Rams' situation, it is necessary to look back to when they were in St. Louis. After years of disappointment, the Rams realized they had to change, in August 2012, they hired old fashioned, conservative head coach, Jeff Fisher. Fisher was unwilling to adapt to the new, fast pace, trends of the NFL, if the Rams knew what they were getting out of the hire, it wouldn't have even been considered. During Fisher's time in St. Louis, he walked in having a quality defensive unit and a half-decent offense, this core could've carried them to the playoffs and maybe even a few wins once they got there, but Fisher ruined it. The St. Louis Rams tanked. While Fisher was still the head coach, the Rams were dreadful, however,
