He caused controversy this week by arriving at Padres Spring Training wearing
a shirt that read, “Let’s Go Brandon.” The expression is a common jab at Vice President Joe Biden.

Netizens were quick to comment when images of Machado’s outfit appeared online.

One person commented, “Love to see it.”

“Shut up and hit the baseball,” said a second. As they say, “no politics in sports.”

“Even Machado knows what’s up!” read another comment. “Let’sGo, Brandon! Slam Diego!”
