How does a 40-year-old shortstop sound? That's how old Trea Turner and Xander Bogaerts will be near the end of their $300+ million free agent deals for the Phillies and Padres, respectively.

It’s a question aggressive teams won’t worry about until that time comes. It’s almost inevitable some teams will have to eat salaries of declining and ultimately released players, as the Los Angeles Angels did – to the tune of about $25 million – when theyOthers in this long game, however, have already realized that their signings were bargains.

A look at the 10 veteran players guaranteed at least 10 years or $300 million in salary since 2019 – and the final years clubs may have to pay them:: Machado 10 years, $300 million with Padres; Cole nine years, $324 million with Yankees.: Yes. Machado is widely expected to opt out after 2023 unless the Padres want to preemptively tack on a few more years at a higher per annum – or tear it up altogether.

for his age 39 season. Given that Machado has produced MVP-caliber years in three of his four seasons with the Padres, it’s looking like a bargain.: Both players have been healthy and were All-Star selections the past two seasons. Cole remains a 30-start horse, even if odds are stacked against him fulfilling a nine-year contract without significant injury. Machado looks like he’ll still be close to his prime when his original deal is up – although opting out should extend the commitment further.

: This contract’s 14-year term once looked outrageous but now seems reasonable given that Tatis will be just 35 when it expires. While he was third in MVP voting in 2021, Tatis missed all of 2022 after a broken wrist suffered in a motorcycle accident and then . He also underwent shoulder surgery and will miss the first 20 games of 2023 finishing his suspension.: What a whirlwind: From near-MVP to injured to suspended and losing his job, as Bogaerts will bump Tatis to the outfield. It’s a lot from which to come back, but Tatis’ youth – he turns 24 next month – and skills indicate he should return to elite offensive production.
