Manny Machado signs with San Diego, stays far away from AL Central
One of the best infielders in baseball was on the verge of tormenting the Indians for 10 years. Luckily he’s in San Diego now
Despite the White Sox’s best efforts to gather all of Manny Machado’s closest friends and family on one haphazardly thrown together team, the $300 million man has chosen the San Diego Padres instead over the next 10 years, with an opt-out after five.
Manny Machado's deal, as @Feinsand first reported, is for 10 years and $300 million with an opt-out after the fifth season.

A monumental deal -- the single biggest free agent contract in American sports history.
And now every eye in baseball turns to Bryce Harper. His move.
Anyway, thanks for Alex Call.
