Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted December 11, 2017 Red Sox announced earlier today that they were going with a purely left-handed line-up and they are making the Green Monster 200 feet high. Should be an interesting season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,588 Posted December 11, 2017 25 million guaranteed for 10 years. As a Cubs fan I am more than happy that you guys have him and we don't. Bryce Harper will get more. In 2 years it will be a bargain. He has an out after 2020. Guarantee barring devastating injury he exercises it, just like A-Rod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
