Both Machado and Tatís Jr. have been instrumental in shaping the modern era of the Padres. Machado, known for his consistency and leadership, has been a cornerstone of the team since joining in 2019. Meanwhile, Tatís Jr. emerged as one of the league’s most electrifying young stars, despite facing challenges, including injuries and a suspension that temporarily derailed his career.
The documentary will offer exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and never-before-seen moments that showcase their journeys, struggles, and triumphs both on and off the field.

With passionate fan support in San Diego and beyond, the documentary seeks to capture the essence of what makes them both larger-than-life figures in the sport.
“This isn’t just about baseball,” said the film’s director in a statement. “It’s about resilience, brotherhood, and the drive to be great.”
Netflix has scheduled the documentary’s release for late spring 2025, just in time for the heart of the MLB season. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how the film presents two of baseball’s most compelling figures and their journey with the Padres.
With “The Time Has Come”, Netflix continues its trend of delivering high-quality sports storytelling, offering viewers an unparalleled look into the highs and lows of two of San Diego’s biggest stars.
