One thing that always seems to get ignored in these Machado discussions is his knees. He has had surgery on both knees for the same issue, and this particular issue has a 30% chance of recurrence. Maybe that is one reason he doesn't hustle around the bases? He certainly does hustle on defense.

Are they trying to out-douche the Kinsler signing from last year?

Still a lot of money although less than many suggested.

I still wouldn't do that.    Not until the maturity is better, that's Hackilton money plus 2 seasons.

I am surprised at the 7 year term.  That is about the worst term possible for Machado.  Why would he want to hit free agency again at 33 or 34?

Seems like he would be smarter to make a 4 or 5 year deal and then hit the market again at 30 or 31. . .

I know an opt out can serve this purpose but there was no mention of an opt out.

Before the offseason started he probably had fantasies of 10/400 dancing in his head.

Welcome to reality Manny.

With a guy like Machado I would want a team option after four years to cut him loose.
