Manny Machado doesn’t really have faith in faith in his former team. Or he just has an extreme amount of faith in his current team. Machado who played with the Dodgers last season now plays with the Padres who had a game in LA against the Dodgers, where he was being heckled by a fan.
Machado is so confident in his new team that he bet a Dodgers fan his contract that they would win a World Series before the Dodgers. Machado just signed a $300 million contract with the Padres.
That’s an insane bet considering the Padres are currently 17 games behind the Dodgers and are in second to last place in the NL West. The Dodgers have the best record in baseball and are one of the favorites to win the World Series this year.
Maybe Machado thinks the Dodgers will continue their postseason woes and the Padres will get it together soon. Either way, the Padres have a lot of work to do in order for Machado to win his bet.
