I think it's a joke he makes $30 million a year, of course I think many salaries are way too high too. Nolan Arenado will break the bank next year unless he gives the Rox a discount which I doubt happens. I think Harper deserves more than Machado but I guess that's just me. Both Harper/Machado are well known for not hustling on the field and both crap on the game in doing so.

The Padres will have a decent lineup now, they could surprise. I think the line on their wins went from 76.5 to 79.5 I think I read, and Machado could be worth more than that win wise. If I'm not mistaken they also met with Harper but surely to God this means the Padres are out of the Harper running. I think this means now that Harper is gone to the Phils but who knows there too.
