When it was announced that Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager needed Tommy John surgery and is out for the year, the entire baseball industry sang in chorus: Manny Machado could be traded to the Dodgers. It makes sense on the surface. The Orioles sit at 8-23, the division is all but out of reach, and they could be headed toward a rebuild. The Dodgers plan on contending this season and lost their best position player for the season.
This trade is something that probably won’t happen immediately, thought everything can change with one phone call.
