Manny Machado isn’t coming back to the Baltimore Orioles, especially not at the price he’s asking for. Entering the 2018-2019 offseason, it was assumed that the former Orioles shortstop / third baseman would get a deal somewhere in the 10-year, $300 million range.
But the way the free-agent market has played out so far, it looks like Machado could get significantly less than his asking price.
On Wednesday, ESPN’s Buster Olney reported that the Chicago White Sox had offered Machado a deal worth 7-years and $175 million.
The White Sox offer to Machado is for $175 million, over seven years.
