How Manny Machado’s Deal is messing Up Everyone.

Manny Machado is set to become the richest free agent in the history of American team sports, agreeing to a 10-year, $300 million contract on Tuesday with the Padres.

Sources: Machado to Padres on record deal The Machado news had barely been digested when all eyes immediately turned to Bryce Harper, who remains available on the free-agent market.

The consensus in the industry is that Harper will sign for more than the $300 million Machado got from San Diego, but will it be the Phillies, White Sox, Giants or Nationals – or another team altogether?

Harpers future remains the primary topic around the game, but there are some other high-profile free agents still looking for deals.

The floor for a Harper deal is now $300,000,001, as the player and his agent, Scott Boras, entered the offseason looking to establish a record for the biggest free-agent contract in history.
