So has anything happened since Monday?
- Free agent infielder Manny Machado has agreed to a ten-year, $300 million deal with the San Diego Padres. It’s the largest free-agent deal in North American sports history.
- The general consensus is that the Padres did well to sign Machado. Travis Sawchik explains why Macahdo’s deal makes sense for the Padres.
- Bradford Doolittle agrees. The deal makes sense for the Padres. (ESPN+ sub. req.) And of course, the money makes sense for Machado.
- Eno Sarris argues the Padres and Machado go together like peanut butter and chocolate.
