New Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Manny Machado is happy to finally be off the trade block.
Prior to his first game with the Dodgers since getting traded to L.A. from the Baltimore Orioles for five prospects, Machado commented on how it feels to be with his new team, per ESPN.com's Bradford Doolittle: "I'm relieved. Relieved it finally got done. It's exciting to be here. It's a great group. Great organization, with a lot of baseball history. I'll just come here and be myself and try to fit into the club around here."
In a 6-4 road win over the Milwaukee Brewers, Machado enjoyed a solid debut, going 2-for-3 with two walks batting out of the No.
