Allow me to explain the numbers and the motivation. Bryce Harper wasn’t looking for loyalty. He wanted to be a headline. By signing a thirteen-year deal for three hundred thirty million, he gets five million more than Giancarlo Stanton got from the Yankees. Over the course of the deal, Harper will make one thousand dollars more per day. Harper gets to be the richest, if only for a moment.
