Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Padres and Manny Machado have agreed to terms on an eleven-year, $350 million extension.​

Machado had announced that he was going to opt out of his 10-year contract this winter and explore free agency. The news must have lit a fire under the Padres' front office and they are poised to keep their franchise player. The 30-year-old has never hit below .256 during his time in San Diego and is coming off a year where he slashed .298/.366/.531 with 32 homers and 102 RBI.

Honestly, it's kind of funny to see these huge contracts be handed out like candy again.

Now, meanwhile, my Royals sit on their ass with actual players that are worth a look in terms of early extensions...
