With a number of star players by their side, the San Diego Padres look solid for the upcoming season. And moreover, they have established a solid core for the future. Manny Machado, one of the most consistent players in the league, has been a vital part of the Padres squad since joining them in 2019. He is an elite power hitter who provides the team with good fielding as well. 

The Padres have been one of the best teams in MLB for the last few years, with Machado being an integral part of it. However, Machado’s choice for an opt-out has caused havoc in the Padres’ fanbase. And as it was not enough, if reports are true, then the Padres made Machado a contract offer amidst his free agency claims.

The San Diego Padres have offered Machado an extra 5-years and $105 million

Recently, Manny Machado announced that he is opting out of his contract with the San Diego Padres after the 2023 season. The star third baseman is doing so in order to sign a new long-term deal. After this season, he will have 5 years and $150 million remaining on his contract. The Padres have offered him 5 years and $105 million in addition to that to keep him with the team. Talkin’ Baseball announced the news via Twitter.

In a Tweet, they said, “The Padres offered Manny Machado an extra five years and $105 million”. In a reply to this tweet, Talkin’ Baseball also said, “He’ll be opting out of five years and $150 million after this season”. This would make his deal 10 years long and worth $255 million.
