But the kind of history he could make with the Phillies ($$$$) -- they of the deep pockets and even deeper outfield need -- matters more, both to him and his agent. [i]-- Matz[/i][br /][Ads /][br /]We've heard that the Phillies might "be a little stupid about it" with offseason spending, but we haven't seen it yet on the free-agent market. Hard to believe they won't sign Machado or Harper, and in many ways they look like the best fit for both. Ultimately, I think if they sign one, it'll be Harper for their outfield.

That star is Harper, who will gladly take the Dodgers' monster offer to move to the West and a new home that is just a 39-minute flight in a private jet to his hometown of Las Vegas. -- [i]Markazi[/i][br /][br /]I think it comes down to the Dodgers and Phillies here. But the lure of Los Angeles and a team that is already at the level Philly is hoping to get to on the field could be enough to send Harper west if L.A. goes all-in to pursue the outfielder -- and recent clues seem to suggest the Dodgers might do just that. -[i]- Mullen[/i][br /][br /][img SRC="http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/mlb/500/chw.png?w=110&h=110&transparent=true" /][b]White Sox: 1 vote (Bradford Doolittle)[/b][br /][br /][b]Why I picked Chicago:[/b] We're getting odds on these, right? Just the fact that the White Sox are sniffing around Harper's trail makes me think they'll go the extra mile (the opt-out) to get him.
