Manny Machado has been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 5 player deal<\/p><\/div>The Baltimore Orioles<\/a> have traded Manny Machado to the Los Angeles Dodgers it was announced on Wednesday. The Dodgers won the battle over Machado that saw the highly sought-after shortstop that many were hoping to acquire.<\/p>\n

The deal saw Baltimore getting five prospects. This included Rylan Bannon (third baseman), right-handers Dean Kremer and Zach Pop plus Yusniel Diaz (outfielder) and Breyvic Valera (third baseman).<\/p>\n

Manny Machado, age 26, is a powerful hitter that offers excellent skills in the field. This trade will vastly improve the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> odds of making it to the World Series this year, and if they do, it will be the second year in a row of doing so. Machado has 24 home runs, earned 65 RBI\u2019s and had a batting average of .315 while with the Baltimore Orioles.<\/p>\n

Machado\u2019s contract was set to expire at the completion of this season, and with Baltimore sitting in last place, they chose to trade the star player and maximise the trade value versus re-sign what would have been a multi-year deal, and an expensive one at that.<\/p>\n

It is expected that he will make his first appearance with the Dodgers this Friday when they play against the Milwaukee Brewers.<\/p>\n
