Culminating a weeks-long saga packed with Hollywood drama, Manny Machado will soon be playing in the shadow of the Hollywood sign.
The Baltimore Orioles dealt Machado, the third overall pick in 2010, and international bonus money to the Los Angeles Dodgers for a package headlined by Yusniel Diaz and including five other prospects: Yadier Alvarez, Rylan Bannon, Errol Robinson and Manny Banuelos.
Machado notified. Deal is official.

The deal was held up Wednesday afternoon by a reported medical concern over one of the less-touted prospects to be included in the deal.
