“Yeah, that was a surprise,” he said. “I think they have a better team than we had last year, and we went pretty far last year. I was expecting it to be way better this year.”The Padres don’t have any minor leaguers they feel like they need to see on the big stage that would not require a 40-man roster move and then possibly another one in the offseason.

While Machado has been able to manage the pain and has proved reluctant to miss games, multiple sources said there are certain swings that cause him a great deal of pain and acknowledged it is possible his season will be cut short.
