February 19, 20197 yr Wow. Honestly, it seems like a bargain for the Padres. Also, I love how this is being reported as the biggest free-agent contract in the history of American sports. It's technically true, and of course reporters always want to be dramatic for clicks. It still irks me when the Marlins gave Stanton more, and they would never acknowledge that. And yes, I know it was backloaded -- which is normal -- and they trade him -- which sucked. It still irks me.
February 19, 20197 yr Who else is seeing Manny being traded in 4-5 years and Padres absorbing most of the remaining contract ?
February 19, 20197 yr Who else is seeing Manny being traded in 4-5 years and Padres absorbing most of the remaining contract ? I do. Just told my friend I see it happening after year four.

That's assuming pretty much none of their prospects pan out. Have to remember they have the best farm system in all of baseball by a decent margin. A few of their 10 in the top 100 are pitchers and potentially their 1-3 in the rotation for a few years, all with potentially ace-like ability. Padres ain't trading Manny unless something goes severely wrong.

February 19, 20197 yr any of those long term deals haven't or will work out Long term deals meaning the 10 year deals? Most of them have been signed when the player was north of 30 years old. Machado and Harper are 26 this season. They'll be fine.

February 19, 20197 yr feels weird to say it considering he's getting 300 million dollars but that's a pretty decent deal for both sides. I don't even like Manny that well but that's a fair rate compared to the 400 million or whatever it was that was projected at the start of the 2018 season. Good for the Pads for going in on it.

He literally stated NO NEW INFO from the tweet he quoted from Rosenthal. Combine this with the fact he's been "on top of" Harper news the last month by saying "Harper has not signed and there's still 37 teams in the hunt for him," he has been must-avoid Twitter.
February 21, 20197 yr Who else is seeing Manny being traded in 4-5 years and Padres absorbing most of the remaining contract ? And trade to the Marlins.
February 22, 20197 yr Who else is seeing Manny being traded in 4-5 years and Padres absorbing most of the remaining contract ? Why? I love what the Padres are doing. It's a genius move. if they can find a way to jettison Myers and have someone pick up a lot of that deal (or wait for the DH to arrive), they will be in really good shape. Their prospect pool is stupid.
February 22, 20197 yr $40 million to my beautiful birth state of California!!!! They arent that dumb business wise to let that much go into the California pool of money.
