If a kid is in kindergarten now, they will be a high school graduate by the time that term is over. The system in baseball is ridiculous. They all said no owner was going to sign another stupid ass contract like that, citing that it has NEVER worked out, but there you are, somebody did.
Harper is 26. He will be 39 when this deal is over. The most ridiculous part of this is at $25M per year, that may be a bargain in 13 years the way this shit show league is going. The most fucked up sport in the history of sports. Who the hell is stupid enough to buy 1 Pirates ticket? Waste of time.
