Machado's plan to seek a new contract helps highlight the benefits of Harper's 13-year deal.
Machado obviously wouldn't be opting out unless he felt strongly he'd be able to top the remaining dollars/years of his current contract. Without opting out, he'd earn $150 million over the final five years of the deal.
Harper will earn $26 million annually for the next six years and $22 million per year the final three seasons. His $330 million contract was the largest in MLB history when he signed it, but five players have since passed him: Mike Trout , Mookie Betts , Aaron Judge , Francisco Lindor and Fernando Tatis Jr. .
You don't have to look far to find the benefits of Harper's price tag. It's helped the Phillies sign numerous large contracts since: Trea Turner, J.T. Realmuto, Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos, Taijuan Walker. Aaron Nola is. Would they all be here if Harper was making closer to, say, $35 million a year like former teammate Anthony Rendon?
