Could Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. break Padres home runs record?

In the San Diego Padres history, no player has reached 500 home runs in the MLB, with the franchise record being Nate Colbert, with 163.

However, third baseman Manny Machado is only 26 homers behind and likely to break the mark this season.

The other Padres player seemingly capable of breaking that mark is Fernando Tatis Jr., who has 106 homers at the age of 25. It remains to be seen how his career pans out, though.
