Earlier this week, there were reports indicating the White Sox had offered Manny Machado just a seven-year, $175 million deal. Although Machado’s agent, Dan Lozano refuted those reports, another report released recently details more about the Sox contract offer to the free agent.
Andy Martino of SNY reported about details of the Sox offer to Machado. Martino wrote the Sox and Machado’s camp have discussed a contract that will allow Chicago to exercise an option after the third year. This would give the Sox team control for an eight or ninth year according to a source wrote Martino.
