Machado Praises Dodgers' Spending, Opposes Salary Cap

Padres star Manny Machado voiced strong approval for the rival Dodgers' aggressive spending, stating, "I f***ing love it" and that it's "great for the game." He believes every MLB team has the ability to spend similarly and is vehemently opposed to a salary cap. Machado also credited Padres GM A.J. Preller for acquiring Nick Castellanos at a below-market price, highlighting the team's strategic moves despite taking a backseat in major free agency.
