Machado's Millions; Kaepernick Deal; Dundon to Rescue

Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the 10-year, $300 million contract Manny Machado has agreed to with the San Diego Padres. Next up is mega free agent Bryce Harper, who is being courted by several teams, including the Phillies and incumbent Nationals. Also discussed is Colin Kaepernick's settlement with the National Football League. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Kaepernick had accused NFL owners of colluding to keep him from playing after a firestorm was created when he knelt during the National Anthem to protest police brutality and social injustices. Also talked about is Tom Dundon's $250 million commitment to the Alliance of American Football, which may have had trouble making payroll this week without the capital infusion.
