Interesting Bryce Harper Info

Heard on TV and radio from 4 different sources.
The Bats offered him 300 million for 10 years, but...
They wanted to pay him $150 million for 10 years, THEN amortize the remaining $150 million until 2072!!!!!
They wanted to extend half the deal for 43 more years.
If this is accurate, and I'm saying I heard this from 4 sources, the Nat's management wanted him gone!
NOBODY in their right mind would accept a deal that took 54 years to consummate.
They did NOT want to pay this guy!
Now, I agree he's overrated, but no wonder he went to Philly, if this is accurate!

I'm not saying Harper is the reason for that, but he's contributing. I'm sure they're glad to have him in Philly.
