After a decent first half and a dull second half in the 2022 regular season, the San Diego Padres have been hot in the postseason. Players like Manny Machado, Juan Soto, and Jose Musgrove, have been clinical for the Padres when it mattered the most.

While the Padres were celebrating their NLDS victory, MLB legend, David Ortiz, had a quick call with Machado. And the two got involved in a hilarious conversation.
