Manny Machado Blasts Dodgers: 'They Took Our Jobs' After Signing Former Teammate Tanner Scott

Star player Manny Machado expressed his disdain for the Los Angeles Dodgers after they signed ex-Padres pitcher Tanner Scott. In a quote that has since gone viral, Machado was heard saying, "They took our jobs," a sentiment that seems to echo the frustration felt by many of his teammates.

The Dodgers have been on a signing spree, adding some of the most coveted talents in the sport to their roster. Among the recent acquisitions are Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki, Korean star Hyeseong Kim, and in a move that's both surprising and humorous, the Dodgers have even signed Shohei Ohtani's unborn child, adding a light-hearted twist to their aggressive recruitment strategy.

Manny Machado's contempt for the Dodgers is palpable. "They're ruining baseball by signing literally everyone," Machado fumed in a post-game interview. "It's like they're collecting us like Pokémon cards. It's disgusting." His teammate, Fernando Tatis Jr., shared similar sentiments, stating, "It's not just about competition anymore; it's about dominance through money. Where's the sport in that?"

The Dodgers' front office, however, seems unfazed by the Padres' outrage. Dodgers' General Manager, Andrew Friedman, chuckled when asked about Machado's comments, "Well, we're just building the best team we can. If that means signing some of the best players out there, so be it. We're here to win games, not make friends." Dodgers' star player Mookie Betts added, "We're just doing what we need to do. If they can't handle the competition, maybe they should step up their game."

In an interesting twist, sources have revealed that the Dodgers have not stopped at their recent signings. They've reached out to the Chicago Cubs regarding a potential trade for Shota Imanaga, and are deep in discussions with North Japan Samurai pitching prodigy Lil' Moto, who is expected to announce his decision later today.

The rivalry between the Padres and Dodgers, already intense, has now reached a boiling point with these developments. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on how these team dynamics play out on the field, with the Dodgers continuing their quest for supremacy, and the Padres looking to reclaim what they feel is rightfully theirs.

Stay tuned for more updates on this brewing baseball saga. Remember, in the world of sports, it's not just about skill; it's about strategy, and the Dodgers are playing a long game.

Note: Manny Machado did not say this, as far as we know.
