17. Manny Machado Traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the Deadline

With Manny Machado set to hit free agency following the season, and the Baltimore Orioles being the worst team in baseball, it was obvious that they were going move him at the trade deadline.

The Los Angeles Dodgers ended up being the team that added Machado to replace their injured shortstop Corey Seager. Machado hit 13 home runs and 42 RBI in the last 66 games of the season, leading the Dodgers all the way to the World Series.
