Manny Machado reportedly signs...

Manny Machado is not leaving. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the third baseman has signed to an 11-year, $350 million deal extension with the San Diego Padres. Machado signed a 10-year, $300 million contract with San Diego in 2019, but informed reporters on Friday that he intended to opt out of the last five years of that pact. Machado, 30, will now stay for a while. According to The Athletic's Dennis Lin, there are no opt-outs in this new contract, nor is there a no-trade clause. The Padres will strive to win another title with Machado, Juan Soto, free-agent shortstop Xander Bogaerts, and Fernando Tatis, who will return from suspension on April 20. According to BetMGM, the Padres have the fifth-best MLB futures odds to win the World Series at +1000. Machado has been fantastic for San Diego since joining the club. During the previous four seasons, he has a slash line of.280/.352/.504, has made the All-Star team in each of the last two seasons, and finished second in the National League MVP vote last season behind winner Paul Goldschmidt.
