Manny Machado is not leaving. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the third baseman has signed to an 11-year, $350 million deal extension with the San Diego Padres. Machado signed a 10-year, $300 million contract with San Diego in 2019, but informed reporters on Friday that he intended to opt out of the last five years of that pact. Machado, 30, will now stay for a while. According to The Athletic's Dennis Lin, there are no opt-outs in this new contract, nor is there a no-trade clause. The Padres will strive to win another title with Machado, Juan Soto, free-agent shortstop Xander Bogaerts, and Fernando Tatis, who will return from suspension on April 20. According to BetMGM, the Padres have the fifth-best MLB futures odds to win the World Series at +1000. Machado has been fantastic for San Diego since joining the club. During the previous four seasons, he has a slash line of.280/.352/.504, has made the All-Star team in each of the last two seasons, and finished second in the National League MVP vote last season behind winner Paul Goldschmidt.

Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table.

Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
