Padres’ jersey rankings show Jackson Merrill taking Manny Machado’s place beside Fernando Tatis Jr.

MLB's 2026 jersey sales rankings through the Fanatics network placed San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill 18th, while Fernando Tatis Jr. ranked fifth overall. Merrill's inclusion marks a shift in the club's popularity, as Manny Machado dropped out of the league's top 20 list after previously ranking 19th in 2025 alongside Tatis at 10th.

The rankings reflect Nike jersey sales since Opening Day, with only the Los Angeles Dodgers placing more players on the list. Merrill's rising popularity follows a debut season where he was named an All-Star, earned a Silver Slugger Award, and signed a nine-year contract extension with San Diego.
