The long winter of our free agency-related discontent is coming to a close. On Tuesday, multiple outlets reported that the San Diego Padres had agreed to terms on a deal with shortstop/third baseman Manny Machado for 10 years and $300 million, with an opt out after five years. There are some semantics to be taken care of, but it seems pretty clear that the Padres have broken the free agency dam and the Rockies will have to deal with Machado in blue and white brown and yellow for at least the next half decade.
