Manny Machado will not be playing for the LA Angels, but he sure will be close by. The super star shortstop reached a deal with the San Diego Padres on Tuesday, per Jeff Passan of ESPN. The deal is for a reported ten years, for a grand total of $300 million, and an opt-out clause after the fifth season.
Machado’s contract is the largest free agent contract in any American sport, ever. In the MLB, it ranks second in total contracts, as Giancarlo Stanton‘s extension, originally with the Miami Marlins, was worth $325 million total.
