## Resource

Manny Machado is on fire at the plate, leading the San Diego Padres to a crucial win against the Blue Jays and helping them hit the .500 mark before the All-Star break. His clutch three-run homer ended an eight-game skid and sparked a team turnaround, with teammates like Tatis Jr. crediting him as the engine of their success. After a rough season marred by injuries and slumps, Machado’s recent surge has lifted his average above .200 — and the whole team is feeling the momentum. With a tough stretch ahead and the trade deadline looming, the Padres are weighing whether to buy or sell, but Machado insists their goal remains a championship — no matter what happens behind the scenes.
