Still, I have a bit of satisfaction knowing that Harper was seated on his rear end like the rest of us last night, watching the game on TV (unless he was in the stands). What was he feeling? Regret, perhaps?

For, what is the difference between $300 million and $330 million? Don't say "30 million" or I will report your post!

Already more money than most people would know what to do with, but he wanted $30 million more. Do you think he's regretting that now? Seven years with the Nationals, and they win it all the year that he jumps ship.

I wouldn't want to be Bryce Harper this morning.
Well, to be fair, teams historically overpay for free agents. There's no way he could have known this would be the year teams start rethinking their strategy. It's going to be another thin offseason for free agents, I think, I bet you won't see any holdouts like Harper and Machado.
