Though he wasn’t expected to return to LA, it looks as if Machado will be making his return to Dodger Stadium in 2019. However, he won’t be suiting up for LA. According to multiple reports http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-jersey , Machado has signed a 10-year deal worth $300 million with the San Diego Padres. Though it isn’t official, it’s expected to be completed soon. The Dodgers never seemed to show any interest in bringing back the free-agent, especially with the return of shortstop Corey Seager. With Justin Turner at third base, there wasn’t really any room for the 26-year-old. LA acquired Machado before last years trade deadline. The Dodgers sent five players to Baltimore, including one of their top prospects, Yusniel Diaz. In 66 games with the Dodgers, Machado hit .271 with an OPS of .825. He hit 13 home runs and drove in 42. Though those are very solid numbers, he didn’t quite meet the expectations that many fans hoped for. He’ll widely be remembered by Dodgers fans on how he performed in the 2018 postseason. Over 16 games Kolten Wong Jersey , Machado hit only .227, while striking out in 25 percent of his plate appearances. His struggles continued into the World Series, where he hit .182. He also stirred up some controversy when he made a comment following game 2 of the NLDS, after he failed to run out a ground ball. “Obviously I’m not going to change, I’m not the type of player that’s going to be ‘Johnny Hustle,’ and run down the line and slide to first base and 鈥?you know, whatever can happen. That’s just not my personality, that’s not my cup of tea Trevor Rosenthal Jersey , that’s not who I am.”His deal is currently the largest free-agent contract in the history of baseball. He has an opt-out available after the fifth year, meaning, he’ll be making at least 50 or so appearances at Dodger Stadium over the next few seasons. Machado will make his first appearance at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday May 14. The Boston Red Sox announced Sunday that starting pitcher Chris Sale was sent to Massachusetts General Hospital because of a stomach virus, and he'll stay there overnight to be checked on.This comes a day after Sale pitched in Game 1 of the ALCS against the Houston Astros. Sale pitched four innings and struck out five batters and allowed just two earned runs. The Red Sox pulled Sale as his pitch got got higher.Sale had been placed on the DL earlier in the offseason due to shoulder inflammation, and observers noted the declining velocity in his pitches on Saturday. It's unknown what the stomach condition is and if it'll force sale to miss his scheduled Game 5 start.advertising#RedSox LHP Chris Sale reported a stomach illness today and was admitted to MGH for observation this afternoon. He will be kept overnight for evaluation and any further updates will be released when available.— Boston Red Sox (@RedSox) October 15, 2018Sale has appeared in three postseason games this year, tossing 14 strikeouts and allowing just four earned runs in 10.1 innings pitched. The Red Sox have tremendous depth in the rotation and bullpen, so if Sale has to miss a start http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-jersey , the likes of Eduardo Rodriguez, David Price and Rick Porcello can fill the void. Relievers Steven Wright and Joe Kelly also has starting pitching experience.

Game 5 - Sale's next scheduled start - takes place Thursday at 8:09 p.m. EST.advertisingSale went 12-4 during the regular season with 237 strikeouts in 158 innings pitched, while sporting an impressive ERA of 2.11. Had Sale not missed a handful of starts with the aforementioned shoulder inflammation, he would have had a better chance at winning the AL Cy Young Award.Though the Red Sox won Sunday, the immediate concern is Sale's long-term health. If they're to win their fourth World Championship of the 21st century, the team simply needs him to be healthy.
