After the dust settled, Bob Nightengale of USA Today shared that Padres' third baseman Manny Machado cracked a joke with reporters about the Padres' aggressive trade deadline shopping spree. "Welcome to the San Diego Padres deadline," Machado said. "I'm never shocked about anything we do at the deadline, let's be honest."

Machado discussed why he isn't a fan of this system. The ABS system would provide more accurate calls on balls and strikes, allowing games to be called as perfect as possible. However, Machado believes this system would take out an important aspect of baseball.
