[QUOTE="South Farms, post: 1449627, member: 590046"] I don't think the Cubs end up getting him, BUT if he and Boras figure they can strike it rich on a 3-4 year deal, say at $35M per, then the Cubs are certainly in play as Harper wants a ring, and the Cubs are as likely , or more likely , to get one with him as any team in the league. It should be interesting to see how this plays out in the next two weeks. It would be awesome to see the Sox bet Machado and the Cubs get Harper I heard Len Kasper on the radio yesterday. He fully believes the NL will adopt the DH in the next CBA, along with some new reduced pitching mound visit limits and possible pitch clock. Pitch clock has been tested in a couple minor leagues and it has worked. I have stated this before, Cubs aren't trading Schwarber because they fully believe he can be their DH for the next 5-6 years . As much as I will miss the NL style of pitching strategy, people pay to see the long ball, not double switches, or pitchers whiffing. [/QUOTE]
