Here is what I referenced some days back as Harper's contract not being the biggest, the largest contracts put into constant dollars, etc. (Thanks to Fangraphs and Craig Edwards)

Also, the contracts of Harper and Machado are within $2M of each other on the net present value of the respective cash flows. Value the opt out as you want. Machado could dip in again for more than Harper in theory based on the length of the respective deals. Value chances of winning a world series as you want, value the sun of Southern CA vs Philly as you want.

What's missing for a true net comparison of the financials is the impact of taxes.
