Tim Anderson: Manny Machado 'Might Have' Missed the Boat Signing with Padres

The Chicago White Sox may be viewed externally as losers in the Manny Machado sweepstakes, but White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Wednesday that Machado could very well be the loser by choosing the San Diego Padres over Chicago.

On Tuesday, Machado agreed to a 10-year, $300 million deal with the Padres, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand—the largest free-agent deal in American sports history.

When asked if Machado "missed the boat" by spurning the White Sox, Anderson didn't hold back.

"He might have," he said.
