Welcome back, MANNY MACHADO !!! 1/18/18

[Twins GM (Pat)]

After a long and heated bidding war with the Nationals' front office, the Twins have resigned Manny Machado to a 5-year $176 million dollar contract, paying him $35.20 million annually. Here's what Machado had to say in an interview about potentially being a Twin for life, and regarding Washington's obvious lust for his services:


Interviewer: Manny, how does it feel to be back with Minnesota for the next 5 years or possibly even longer?
Manny Machado: It feels right, Minnesota is home for me. I've been playing here 3 seasons, I love it. The fans are great, the beer, the cheese. I love it all. Ready to play some ball and fight for a championship.

I: Does it bother you at all that Minnesota just signed Justin Turner, also a third baseman, to another significant 4-year contract?
M: Not at all man I just go out there and do the best I can. Justin is a great player and I'm sure he will help us win games.

I: Washington was pretty hot on your tail- did you envision what it it would be like to play for the Nationals?
MM: Man they was talking about taking team trips to Dollywood man fuck dat I don't even like country music.
