San Diego Padres are screwed.

Why would you agree to pay this guy $39 million dollars a year until the age of 41?

He is 34 years old, and has over $270 million dollars still owed to him. He can't hit anything right now and this team is done without him hitting. They better hope he figures it out.

Well, look at it this way: it's still nowhere near as bad as the contract the Browns gave Deshaun Watson.

The Dodgers are counting on Machado to fail.

why put it all on manny?...

why put it all on manny?...

I'm not, I'm putting it on a contract where he is still owed $273 million dollars. Until he is 41.

That is really dumb to sign anyone over the age of 34 to that kind of money.

Tucker, the big signee this year, is having bat troubles with the Dodgers.

Same thing with Xander Bogaerts he's 33, batting about .230 and on Paternity leave. I got zero Paternity leave for my two kids and wasn't making $29 million a year.

And in 253 at bats this season, Fernando Tatis Jr. has 2 home runs.

Has this team fired the hitting coach? Maybe they got rid of someone they should have kept, I don't know.

First the owner lost a bunch of money with this stupid contract, which pays him until 2035, then the owner lost a bunch more with Madoff.
