They’re one team you can never rule anything out.
I agree, and Machado is kind of looking like a lemming for them. I think he's just sitting and hoping that the Yankees come a calling.

So does Nightengale have sources or is he talking out of his ass
I don't know, aside from the initial contract, I think it is easier to be an MLB regular than it is to be a star QB. We aren't talking about some guy hoping to make it, he was a first round pick. Now that doesn't guarantee anything of course but again I would bet money on him being able to have a long baseball career in any capacity than having a long football career as a starting QB. If he becomes a big time QB, ok he'll make more money than if he is a scrub MLBer. But if he becomes a even a marginally successful baseball player he's making more money with less of a toll on his body. The biggest difference, in my opinion is the star factor. A star QB is going to be much more famous than almost any baseball player on a national scale. That means advertisements, publicity, etc. The die have been cast though and we'll find out. I would imagine he'll be a hot commodity in this year's draft so we'll see.It's not nearly as easy as you might think to become a solid MLB player, even as a top 10 pick. I believe the last time I saw the numbers run, Picks 6-10 gave you a ~35% chance to get a 1.5+ WAR player. 11-15 dropped it to ~30%.

I heard yesterday that Jeff Samardzija has made something like 90 million in his baseball career. They brought him up as an example of what Murray could make etc.
How much did Drew Henson make?
Edit: I suppose Henson wasn't good at either sport, which is sort of the risk you take when you're a prospect in baseball and football.
Brian Jordan had a heck of a career for a guy who didn't make the majors until he was 25 (and he was downright awful as a rookie, .207 with a .250 OBP). He ended up making $51M. He was a better baseball player than Deion Sanders.
Henson ended up amounting to nothing in both sports but he was pretty hyped in both going into it before he ultimately ended up picking baseball. Even after he flamed out in baseball & turned back to football he gained back some hype for that too.
What happens first:
Flyers trade Wayne Simmonds
Harper or Machado sign somewhere
Hope you're right.I'm going with latter. And it's in Philly.
I would say Simmonds getting traded first unless Phillies offer Harper a record breaking contract.What happens first:

Is Longoria not overly bright...not blaming who is really at fault
Evan Longoria doesn’t like free agency
MLB made 10 Billion dollars this season. The word finite might not be the best use here.
