The saga that has lasted a few weeks has finally come to a close as the Dodgers have acquired shortstop Manny Machado from the Orioles for a 5-player prospect package led by outfielder Yusniel Diaz.
The Dodgers are also sending infielders Rylan Bannon & Breyvic Valera and right-handed pitchers Dean Kremer & Zach Pop to Baltimore. If that seems like a lot of players for a rental (even one of Machado’s stature), it is.
