Who Wants Manny Machado as the Face of Their Franchise??

$300 Million for this guy??

Listen to Doug Gottlieb explain why it was nothing short of mind-boggling to see Manny Machado receive one of the largest contracts in baseball history, given he was arguably the Dodgers’ least valuable player in the World Series after going 4 for 22 (.182) in a five game series defeat at the hands of Boston.

Sure Machado is a great talent, already going to five All-Star games before turning 27, but Gottlieb believes it was unprecedented for the Padres to give the keys to their franchise, a team with one of the most affluent minor league systems in the game, to a player ironically nicknamed ‘Johnny Hustle’.

Check out the full audio below as Gottlieb believes the Padres made a catastrophic mistake by picking Machado as the pillar to build around.
