Like he is going to play hard now! That money is guaranteed and he will be trade 4 times or so in the next 7 years before being cut!https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/02/padres-agree-to-terms-with-manny-machado.html
$300MM isn't a tax bracket--it's a low-Earth orbit.
Jeez, the DB's cant catch a break. Another decade of seeing this guy 20 times a year?
Not quite sure about that. I'd bet you a quarter this contract is back-loaded pretty heavily. They'll never find a new home for him in year seven owing that much. Notice Artie Moreno hasn't tried to buy out Albert Pujols? I doubt even the Cardinals would take him back. It doesn't sound like either the Yankees or Red Sox had any interest in Machado. They would be the ones most likely to drop that much cheddar on an aging player #A-RoidLike he is going to play hard now!

https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/m...o-padres-contract-odds-world-series-win-totalTheir World Series odds were cut in half at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, going from 100-1 to 50-1. Their win total initially rose from 76.5 to 79.5, but has since fallen back to 78.5. Their odds of winning the NL west have also improved, moving from 30-1 to 12-1. They’re not contenders, yet, but they are in a good spot going forward.
Why would it matter of it's "back-loaded?" Baseball contracts are fully guaranteed. He's gonna get $300 Million one way or another...
IMHO, this deal only solidifies the fact that S.D. will remain in mediocrity for the next decade. Which doesn't suck!
