Padres, Manny Machado Finalizing 11-Year Extension
2 years agoThe San Diego Padres and star third baseman Manny Machado are finalizing an 11-year, $350 million contract extension on Sunday, according to sources familiar with the deal. Machado has helped turn around the franchise and was planning on opting out of his previous deal after the 2023 season. The 30-year-old All-Star had six years and $180 million left on his previous deal with the Friars. Machado should finish his career in San Diego now as the franchise looks to win their first championship. In 2022, he hit .298/.366/.531 with an .898 OPS, 32 home runs, 102 RBI, 100 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 150 games in his fourth year with the Padres. Machado is easily a top-20 fantasy asset in SD's stacked lineup.
