Bryce Harper updates are God’s way
of telling you to get a life. A friend
told me yesterday that he saw on a local sports’ website that the White Sox
were willing to offer free agent Harper a ten-year deal. By the time I checked out the story, another
one, filed four hours later, cited “high ranking industry sources” who said the
Sox would go no more than seven years.
Today, just for fun and possibly
because I don’t have the necessary life, I checked the site again to find that
the seven-year length could be—as opposed to “is”—a compromise between ten
years and early opt-outs. Another story
pointed to free-agent outfielder A.J. Pollock as a consolation prize if the Sox
strike out on Harper and/or Manny Machado.
It appears that anything baseball from ESPN does not require much if any
sourcing. If ESPN says so, it must be
true enough. Or not, because none of the
writers look willing to let a lack of facts get in the way of some fun
speculation.
I have got to get a life.
