The San Diego Padres may be expecting Manny Machado to opt out of his contract after the 2023 season, according to Jon Heyman.

Machado, 30, will have five years and $150 million left on his deal after the 2023 season. He'd join Shohei Ohtani and Rafael Devers as headliners of the 2024 free agent class.

The huge contracts signed by Carlos Correa, Trea Turner and Xander Bogaerts this offseason could set a new baseline for Machado.
