Three days after needing to be separated during a verbal altercation in the dugout, Padres star infielders Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado said Tuesday that the dust-up is now water under the bridge.
The pair spoke to the media about the issue on Tuesday, insisting that the confrontation helped their relationship and that the pair are on good terms now.
"We handled it internally," Machado said, per MLB.com's AJ Cassavell. "We've got a team that's trying to compete and get to the World Series. We haven't been playing such great baseball, so emotions get involved, and it gets the better of us.
