Machado Harper and Trout are frequently left out (or exit early) from the postseason. In basketball signing a big free agent will make a difference in your team immediately. A free agent position player in baseball is going to help your team as much as they helped their old team. Baseball teams win mostly when a bunch of young talented players come up and get it done early in their career - the Astros with Altuve, Correa Bregman and Springer or the Sox with Betts Bogaerts, Benintendi and Devers along with some great pitching. The Phillies were rebuilding nicely but I’m not sure I like their direction this off season.
No one has sour grapes over the Harper signing. Not that many teams were interested in giving a guy $30 mil to hit .250. Quote:

Maybe if he put up a WAR last year higher than 1.3 he would have demanded and received 40 million.
