According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, Manny Machado and the San Diego Padres are $145 million apart in extension talks. Machado reportedly is “countering with a 10-year, $400 million extension that would begin in 2024”. Is Manny asking for too much? What is the right price for an extension to get done? #Padres #MLB #Baseball Subscribe for free year round Padres content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJHFZPJpuyVyG_skyD0F6w?sub_confirmation=1 Check out my MLB YouTube Channel:

2023/02/18

According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union Tribune, the deadline Manny Machado set for extension talks with the Padres has passed. San Diego reportedly made one offer to Machado before the deadline (February 16), which was to add an additional five years ($21 million AAV) on his current five years and $150 million left on his deal after this season. This doesn't seem like good news for Padres fans. #Padres #MLB #Baseball Subscribe for free year round Padres content:

Usually San Diego Padres fans are used to seeing players battle it out during Spring Training for starting spots but this team is so good that there aren’t any starting spots up for grabs (other than right field for the first 20 games because Fernando Tatis Jr. is suspended to start the year). Some then wouldn’t think there are interesting questions to be answered in camp but that’s not the case. Is Luis Campusano going to make progress towards earning the starting catcher job? How will Tatis look

Yu Darvish was extended by the San Diego Padres yesterday and had his press conference today with President of Baseball Operations A.J. Preller at Petco Park. Coming away from the presser it was clear that this extension got done because Darvish wanted to be here and the Padres wanted him here. The organization also continues to value certain things I say that because this seems to be the same thought process in a potential extension with Manny Machado. Preller told the media Machado has “expressed

Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort told the Denver Post over the weekend that he doesn’t agree with “what the Padres are doing” despite his fans “probably” agreeing with it. Monfort added San Diego and other clubs “have spent a lot of money” which has put “a lot of pressure” on the Rockies organization. Monfort also made sure to mention that San Diego’s roster has some holes. Let’s be honest—he should be the last one talking about other team’s holes. #Padres #MLB #Rockies Subscribe for free year
