Washington Post has an interesting article on baseball today. It gives the following players and asks what they have in common other than being good:
Harper, Donaldson, McCutchen, Price, Fernandez, Machado, Heywood, Keuchel and Harvey. The answer is they will all be FA (or can be due to an opt-out clause) after 2018 season. Only Donaldson will be even 30 at the time.

They were saying that since Harper will be only 25, he might be looking for a 15 year $500 M contract. That's right ... a half a Billion dollars ... that's with a B... not an M. If his 2016 through 2018 seasons are anything like 2015, an AAV of $33M actually sounds a little low assuming continued contract inflation. Yikes!

Will we be able to afford to buy a ticket to a game then?
