Padres Manager Mike Schildt talked about Marcano:
“I got to know him as a person, and I think the person is a really good one,” Shildt said Tuesday before the Padres faced the Los Angeles Angels.

“Clearly it’s something that rightfully baseball takes very seriously, as they should,” Shildt added. “There’s always consequences to your actions. But in my understanding and my personal relationship with him, which is very limited, he’s a fine young man.

We make mistakes in life, and I don’t think he’s running from it. He’s clearly going to be punished for it. I just hope it doesn’t interrupt his life, because again, in talking to him, he’s a good guy, and we all make mistakes. … He doesn’t need to be labeled or anything for one mistake.”
