Boo. Everybody who is off work already and out of school is crowding me out of my preferred working spot this morning. I just want to have some coffee and sit and type, people! Why are you here to do the very same thing! How DARE you?!
If Bryce Harper signs with Cubs or Dodgers for 10 years, $350 million, he would be owed the same amount: $350 million. But he would take-home, after-taxes, $13 million more by signing with the Cubs ($195 million v. $182 million). @SportsTaxMan & I explain: https://t.co/gzyNGPieJV https://t.co/NP3676mPOm

The Cubs have added 4 names to their Iowa depth chart: 1B Jim Adducci (the return!), UT Philip Evans (AAA’s Best vLHP), OF Evan Marzilli and RHMR Carlos Ramirez (.167 AVG allowed in 2018). Evans and Ramirez intrigue a bit, Adducci and Marzilli are depth pieces in Des Moines.

Same movement and velo w different camera angle.
1st pitch looks straight as an arrow.
2nd pitch you can see tail and sink.TV network should try broadcasting game w a LHP and RHP camera angle. Might be worth the hassle and extra $. pic.twitter.com/rtWh2PcMeQ

(To be clear, he wouldn't get anything close to that, in my opinion, but there would be a valuation argument there for him and his agents to make. Consolidating 9 to 10 WAR in a single player, who is just 27 … yeah, there is extraordinary value there.)
