Its suicide for the Padres. Terrible deal in about 3 years.I didn't expect the 10 year contracts to come back. At some time baseball has to see that no matter how good the player is, 10 year contracts are bad for baseball as a team like SD can be handcuffed the 2nd half of the contract if Machado's production dips and he doesn't opt out.
In 3 years Machado will still be in his 20s.
It is an awful lot of money, but it's infinitely smarter to give a 10 year deal to a 26 year old like Machado than the 10 year deal the Mariners gave 31 year old Cano. Cano just turned 36, the age Manny will be when this deal is done, and he still has 5 years $120m left on his deal.
Why is Harper assumed to get more than Machado?
I think he is better and def. more marketable.

You follow enough sports to understand why? Don’t act like you don’t.Why is he more marketable?
Better looking. @King Stannis ?Why is he more marketable?
