A friendly wager that Manny Machado apparently made in 2019 has not aged well, and the fan who inspired the bet recently reminded the Padres slugger about it. And no, he didn’t do so quietly.
Four years ago, a Dodgers fan could be heard heckling Machado before he stepped to the plate during a game at Dodger Stadium after Machado had left Los Angeles for San Diego to sign a massive deal worth $300 million over 10 years.
“Manny, congrats. With that big of a contract, you’ve got 10 Octobers off. Congrats,” the fan said at that 2019 game. “Come on, you could have had it all in L.A.”
