The Padres and Manny Machado are close to an agreement on a massive contract extension that will keep the superstar third baseman in mustard and brown for the foreseeable future.
The parties are finalizing an 11-year pact worth $350 million, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported Sunday morning.
Earlier this month, Machado publicly stated his intention to exercise an opt-out clause in his contract to become a free agent after the season. Apparently, that will no longer be the case, as Machado appears to be linked to San Diego for the long term.
