Yep, I interpreted as single game tickets. So, someone purchasing season tickets would count for 81 tickets. |

Must be tough for the Nationals to lose Harper to a division rival. |

People in Philly are calling this the ultimate payback for losing Jayson Werth to the Nats back when the Phillies were still pretty great. This is bigger than that - Werth was a key piece and a tough out, but with Rollins, Utley, & Howard on that team and the “four aces” in 2011, he was never THE guy like Harper is... -Ray |

"Buying a World Series" is not new thought, it didn't work out for Detroit (Cabrera, Price, Scherzer, Porcello, Verlander even the GM, Dobrowski) but Boston/Houston picked up the pieces and were successful. Who cares? The "games" start later this month!
As Detroit learned, if you don't make it, the contract is there for a loooooong time! Fog |

Mike Trout is finalizing staying with the Angels for $430M! Wonder what Harper is thinking after he tried to recruit Trout for Philly? Also wonder if Harper thinks he's now underpaid?

Grew up with baseball and love baseball but it seems its all gone crazy. Can anyone afford tickets anymore? Is anyone really worth $2220,000 a game?

Evidently people can still afford tickets. Winning teams still ell out regularly and tickets are less than the NFL and NBA. We don’t go very often, but we still manage to go to a few games per year. And this year, it’ll be harder to get tickets because the excitement about the team will be that much higher. I get your point but the market says you’re wrong. The owners are still making massive money - why shouldn’t the players? And of all the things that have gone crazy in recent years, I find sports salaries to be the least of it.

Actually, they're old friends - played Fall League ball in the same outfield when they were first coming up. I'm sure Harper would have loved to have Trout in the same outfield again, but I'm sure he also knew that if the Angels reacted and extended him - they'd tried to do it last year but he didn't go for it - he'd still be doing his old friend a solid. It was kind of a win win for Harper. Best case, he gets Trout in the same outfield, worst case, he does an old friend a favor. MLB pretended to scold him for tampering, but what were they gonna do? Maybe Trout'll buy him dinner, now that HE'S the one with the big money!
