Manny Machado’s trainer, Nick Soto, sat down with me before the San Diego Padres season to talk about the following topics:

  • Machado’s extension
  • Manny not winning the NL MVP last season
  • How he felt when Machado got hurt in Colorado and how long Manny should’ve been out for
  • What his offseason work looked like
  • What Machado’s wife, Yainee, is like
  • Machado’s nutrition
  • Who he’ll be pulling for in the World Baseball Classic!
