The Dodgers are going to land Manny Machado as it appears the trade is going to happen and it’s simply a matter of time and final details. The addition of Machado would be the biggest bat the Dodgers have acquired at the non-waiver trade deadline since Manny Ramirez brought Mannywood to Los Angeles in the infamous deal with the Red Sox.
The addition of Machado would appear to be a luxury but the move actually could end up as a necessary addition. Prior to the all-star break, the Dodgers offense was having issues scoring and failing to come through with runners in scoring position.
