What he’s paid
Under contractA market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s, as of .
- 2026 salary
- $25.09M
- Tax hit
- $31.82M
- Service time
- 13 yr 56 d
- Guaranteed
- $350M
The deal 11 years $350M (2023–2033) — $31.8M a year on average, worked out by us rather than stated on the sheet, and not the same thing as the tax hit above
On the sheet: 11 y/$350M (23-33) · agent MVP Spts · 3 / 3 options left
After this season, as the sheet has it
| Season | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | $39.1M | $39.1M | $39.1M | $39.1M |
| Tax hit | $31.8M | $31.8M | $31.8M | $31.8M |
Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, San Diego Padres.
A second set of books
The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of . We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.
- Tax AAV
- $31.8M
- Guaranteed
- $350.0M
- Term
- 11 yrs

- Extension
What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 | 2033 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | $21.0M | $35.0M | $35.0M | $35.0M | $35.0M | $35.0M | $35.0M | $35.0M |
A base salary under his own reading, and never subtracted from the cash figure above: a signing bonus lands in one and not the other, so the two disagree on most men without either being wrong. And the sheet does not mark which future seasons are GUARANTEED — a club option and a projected arbitration award are both just a number here, so read past the end of the deal as his forecast rather than as money owed.
Two sources, read a month apart, put this guarantee at the same dollar. That is the check, and it passed.
The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.

The Bureau on Manny Machado
The scouting press, in their own words
Tatis, Machado and now Merrill all really picking it up offensively. Even Cronenworth had a nice July. If the Padres hold on today, they're four over and a game out of the last WC spot, 1.5 out of the second. What does Preller have up his sleeve in the next 24 hours? https://t.co/i61Tlmd8X9
Umpire favor
+2.4 net runs over 45 graded games — the zone was kind to him on balance.
