Many Machado is probably one of the many Padres stars who is unhappy with the team’s p we we’dprogress this offseason. The Padres were not in the market for free-agent players, except for their interest in Roki Sasaki. While they were linked to a few sluggers, the team didn’t really do much in terms of signing players.

Padres third baseman Manny Machado opened up about the team’s offseason, stating that he’s a little disappointed with their progress.
“Are we disappointed we haven’t made any moves? Yeah,” Machado said. “As a team you look up there and you are a little disappointed that we let some of the guys that were a part of our core group here go elsewhere. At the end of the day we can’t control that we can control with the group of guys we have here and we are going to get ready for a long season,” Machado said via the New York Post.

Machado also mentioned that Sasaki was aware of where he was going to sign before the deadline. The Padres have several spots to fill, especially if they want to make the playoffs. Top sluggers like Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado will play a vital role for the team in the upcoming season.
