Bryce Harper just got paid and baseball fans on Twitter had lots of things to say about it.
Not a bad idea to try and get your kid to hone their baseball skills in hopes of one day earning Harper-level money. It’s a daunting pursuit, but hey, if you start playing the game at a young age and develop the athletic ability, anything is possible.
The duration of Harper’s deal matches the longest deal in Major League Baseball, with Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton being the only other player in the midst of a 13-year deal. Some Twitter users joked around a bit in their attempt to emphasize just how long a 13-year contract is:LeBron James will turn 47 years old in 2032.If Bryce Harper plays out his contract – and he has a no-trade clause and no opt outs – he will be a Phillie longer than Chase Utley, and Richie Ashburn, and Larry Bowa, and Ryan Howard, and Cole Hamels. . .amazing to think about.
