The San Diego Padres, led by Manny Machado, are eager to avenge the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025.
Manny Machado is optimistic in the Padres’ chances against the Dodgers.
After losing to the Dodgers in the 2024 NLDS, Machado expressed his team’s desire to overthrow them, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale (via Dodgers Nation’s Valentina Martinez):
Machado told Nightengale, “Our division is by far the best division in baseball now.” “Puts down.”Four of our clubs have a chance to qualify for the playoffs. You know what? The Dodgers are [bleeping] excellent. However, we can’t wait to defeat them. Nothing compares to being able to emulate a championship squad in your division.

Next season, the Padres will still pose a serious danger to the Dodgers.
The Padres remain one of the Dodgers’ greatest opponents even after losing former Gold Glover Ha-Seong Kim and All-Star Jurickson Profar in the summer. Before wasting the five-game series, San Diego had Los Angeles in the throes of a 2-1 NLDS lead. Things could be different this time.
The Padres lost to the Dodgers in the postseason for the second time since 2020. The Dodgers are Machado and the Friars’ greatest opponent, yet they have yet to make it to the World Series.

The Padres still have muscle even if L.A. made a huge boost with a number of high-profile free agents, including acquiring standout closer Tanner Scott from San Diego. Two front-runners, Michael King and Dylan Cease, lead their rotation, with former All-Star Yu Darvish coming in second. Like Fernando Tatis Jr., their roster has a 32-year-old franchise player with both power and efficiency.
Therefore, whether San Diego can defeat the current World Series champions will be decided in 2025. Machado and his colleagues are determined to make it happen.
