The San Diego Padres and Manny Machado seem to have an unbreakable relationship. After the Dominican baseball player announced that will exercise the clause to get out of his contract with the San Diego team, the team would already be preparing a plan to keep him within the franchise.
According to international media, the priority of the owner of the Padres, Peter Seidler, is to keep Machado within the franchise, so the team would be open to negotiating a new agreement with the Dominican during the 2023 campaign.
“Manny will always be a priority for me and for the organization. He is a phenomenal player. He is an important part of what we are doing here, but we respect his process, we have a good relationship with his representatives and agents,” Seidler said.
For Machado, the priority is the 2023 campaign, where he will try to give his best to achieve great results with his current team.
However; It is unknown if the player has any intention of changing the franchise by 2024. But given the situation with the team, it is most likely that they will negotiate a more luxurious contract with more years.
