    So he's getting paid either way. But in one scenario he's riding a greyhound bus around Alabama and in another he is playing QB in front of 50k people

    I thought that was only 1.5-4mil though and not the 17+ from the NFL.

    The 4.6 was a minor league contract. MLB was going to let him have a major league contract like they allow for international players such as Cuba, so he could have gotten as much as a nfl contract and pretty much be assured he’s making the majors in 1-2 seasons as he would have to remain on the forty man roster.

    Yeah but if he wasn't good it wouldn't really matter if he was on the 40 man or not

    Here’s one mentioning 15 million https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/col...eball-football

    Not home but read that they were going to have the option to tie it to his draft prediction which would be 15-30 million on top of the near five million they gave him with the minor league contract

    Are there even other quality MLB players on the Padres? What's the point...

    Padres have the #1 farm system, so their thinking is lock in Machado now for the next 1-2 sub par years and be ready to go in year 3.

    I’m surprised the clubhouse and bullpen monitors weren’t already on a 7-8 second tape delay.

    Because baseball. They've always been lagging behind on anything technology related.

    Yeah that's what will probably happen if not very close just to edge out Manny. I don't see any one else other than Philly anymore really.

    Hope tickets don't go up in price too much, that's my 2nd favorite place to catch a ball game when I don't feel like driving to Baltimore because Yankee stadium is too expensive and annoying.
