[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1449779, member: 619279"] Thanks for quick advice on what posts go where and how to spend my internetz time. I pretty rationally explained how the Cubs won't be able to afford Harper due to their self imposed cap of the luxury tax. Him signing a 2-3 year deal doesn't really change that. And if he actually is open to signing a 2-3 year deal, then I'm pretty sure at least 10 more teams are going to jump in with offers because that's much more attractive to a lot of teams. We've seen no actual indication that he's not going to take the top $ offer, so not sure why the Cubs would have a leg up on anyone, [I]especially with their self imposed cap of the luxury tax.[/I] [/QUOTE]
