6 years agoBaltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado has been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers. After days of speculation the deal is now official and the All-Star has been shipped to the West Coast. Machado will play shortstop for the Dodgers in place of the injured Corey Seager. Chris Taylor or potentially Cody Bellinger will move to center field with the Dodgers likely to trade an outfielder prior to the deadline. While Machado will be a free agent by season's end, he is a major get for the Dodgers who now seem like the favorites to win the World Series . Machado's fantasy value will increase as he enters one of the best offenses in the MLB.--Dan Fappiano
