Manny Machado expresses confidence that the San Diego Padres are capable of winning the National League West in 2025, despite the challenges ahead.

Earlier this week, Roberts said he had not spoken to Machado about the tactic but that he would certainly say “hello” to him in spring training. The Padres play the Dodgers on Sunday at Camelback Ranch, though Machado and most of the team’s other regulars are not expected to make the trip.
