I have two Tintner Bruckners - Nos. 00 and 3 - which I've enjoyed listening to very much. My experience with Bruckner is limited, so my comment probably isn't worth a lot. I do like your "flowing" description. That's what I hear and like.
Win - win for Machado. If he thinks he can do better after 5 years (which I doubt), he can opt out. If he doesn't, he still gets 30 mil. a year for 5 more years.
So much for collusion.
After 5 years, Machado's best years will be behind him. And I think that Harper's best years are already behind him. Let the suckers who run the Phillies have him.
