The priest-star replied Manny Machado claimed that an article questioning the mindset of the San Diego Padres is misinformation.
The Padres are hitting .483 and are 5.5 games out of the MLB postseason, trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers by 20 games in the National League West. Despite having MLB’s third largest payroll ($253 million), they are fourth in the NL West behind the San Francisco Giants, Arizona Diamondbacks and Dodgers, and the Diamondbacks spend an estimated $135 million less on payroll .

Manny Machado responds to criticism “Really, there’s nothing to say about the story,” Machado told 97.3 The Fan.
“I don’t think there’s any good or bad publicity for this story. Everyone always has an opinion. “At the end of the day, we go out and play to the best of our ability. I guess that’s it after all. “A lot of quotes from that story have been left out, and everybody always has a story they’re trying to tell.
“The real point of it is: We didn’t play good baseball. I didn’t play good baseball.” Manny Machado discussed how his elbow feels and why he’s headed for offseason surgery: When can the priests be eliminated from the wild card race? The franchise trails the Chicago Cubs by 5.5 games, meaning if the Cubs, Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies all win their next five games, the Padres will be eliminated on the weekend.
That contrasts with 2022, when the Padres finished second in the NL West with seven wins at Petco Park and on the road. The Padres haven’t won a division title since 2006 and a National League pennant since 1998, nor have they won a World Series in their history.
