The following corrected information has been added to this article: The ages of Manny Machado and Bryce Harper have been corrected to reflect that they are both 26 years old, not 25 as originally stated. As Patrick Saunders suggested in his Sunday column, this offseason could be about players standing shoulder-to-shoulder and holding the line opposite a group of owners they suspect might be colluding. Of course, it’s extremely likely Harper would never consider such a deal. On the other side of the equation, the Rockies could add some serious star power to the marquee - something that might even take a few eyes away from Broncos Stadium. And who knows? Maybe it even helps convince Arenado to stick around a little longer. That’s some pretty hot cheese for two seasons, and Harper could re-enter free agency as a 28-year-old after presumably taking advantage of Coors Field’s hitter friendly confines. If it’s not, and Harper isn’t able to find a long-term offer to his liking, float something out there. If that’s the case, the Rockies would be absolutely crazy to match. It’s been reported that Harper already has a 10-year, $300 million offer on the table from the Washington Nationals. But the Rox could easily make space for Harper in right field. With Arenado and Trevor Story taking up the left side of the infield, it probably doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to go after Machado. But what would be the risk in the Rox throwing a big money, two-year deal at one of them and seeing what happens? (Assuming they haven’t already.) It’s hard to imagine Rockies brass has given it much thought, what with their own troubles locking down Nolan Arenado. Digital Replica Edition Home Page Close Menu
