As we all know by now, Manny Machado recently agreed to a 10-year, $300 million contract with the Padres. When you break that number down by the amount of regular season games he’ll likely play in over the next decade, Machado will make more than $20k per inning. Now that’s a lot of money — something the Yankees never seriously considered offering the four-time All-Star.
While 9 out of 10 fans would agree that any player getting paid $180k per game is a bit much, you wouldn’t expect a professional ballplayer to speak about another’s dissatisfaction in regards to their current contract.
