Can Padres' Manny Machado Hit 500 Career Home Runs?

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado has been named as a candidate to reach the 500 home run club. But could he actually do it?

While a plethora of achievements are recognized in Major League Baseball, few records get more attention than career home run totals. The 500-home run club is the pinnacle of exclusivity in this category.

Currently, Machado is tied with Philadelphia Phillies icon Bryce Harper at 332 total home runs, and he's only three months older than the star first baseman. Still, Thosar ranks Harper as "likely" while only ranking Machado as "50/50." "Machado, like others in this category, would need to keep up that consistency for roughly seven more seasons, and it's tough to tell how durable he'll be into his mid-30s."
