[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1449997, member: 619279"] Well yea without signing Harper they'll definitely get under the tax in 2021 if not next year. But with Harper, there's no realistic way to get under the tax (while staying competitive) without incurring the hefty 3 years in a row penalty. He eats up pretty much all of that $38MM next year and they'll still have an empty rotation spot and half a bullpen. Which was my whole point, I don't think the Ricketts are the ownership group to just accept the 3 year penalty; no other team than Boston has done that and Boston is kind of unique. [/QUOTE]
