He became the seventh Oriole to have 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in a season. Machado finished his rookie season having played in all 51 of the remaining Oriole games. In 202 plate appearances, he hit .262 with eight doubles, three triples, 7 home runs, 26 RBI, and two steals in as many attempts.
The Angels signed him to a one-year, $30 million deal to buy out his final year of arbitration, and that could look like a steal relative to what he's poised to earn on the open market next offseason. The 29-year-old finished the year with a 115 OPS+ while slugging 27 doubles and 27 home runs in a 3.5-WAR season, and he trimmed his strikeout rate from an ugly 32.5 percent in 2021 to a more manageable 27.4 percent. Between his time in Japan and his MLB career, he has logged a whopping 2,756.1 innings, a total surpassed only by Zack Greinke and Justin Verlander among active pitchers. Yu Darvish has been one of the most consistent front-line pitchers in baseball since he signed with the Texas Rangers in 2012, but it's fair to wonder how much he has left since he'll turn 37 years old in August. If he does return to elite form, surpassing the record-setting five-year, $102 million contract that Edwin Díaz signed with the New York Mets this offseason will undoubtedly be his goal. Giolito struggled through a down year in 2022 with a 4.90 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 161.2 innings.
REPORT: Los Angeles Dodgers to Release Trevor Bauer
On July 18, 2018, Machado was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Yusniel Diaz, Dean Kremer, Rylan Bannon, Breyvic Valera and Zach Pop.

He debuted as a Dodger on July 20 against the Milwaukee Brewers and had two singles and two walks. He recorded his 1,000th career hit on August 9, off Tyler Anderson of the Colorado Rockies. In 66 games with the Dodgers, Machado finished with a .273 batting average, 13 home runs, and 42 RBI.

The success of Manny Machado is the result of a calculated gamble that the Padres took on him nearly four years ago. In February 2019, the Padres signed Machado to a 10-year deal worth $300 million, making it the largest contract in baseball at the time. Myers hit 134 home runs in eight seasons with San Diego. Highlights of his Padres tenure include an All-Star nod in 2016, launching 58 home runs in 2016 and 2017, and playing a part in San Diego's climb back to relevancy. The last few years, however, haven't ranked among his most productive ever.
Myers finished 16th in MVP voting after crushing it in the COVID-shortened season, but he mustered just 24 home runs in 223 games following that year. While his OPS+ was still above 100 in both of those campaigns, it became clear that he had lost some of his power. Weren't able to muster much offense against their rivals until the ninth inning, but Machado provided some firepower with solo homers off Julio Urias in the third and sixth frames. The All-Star third baseman is up to 28 long balls on the campaign, matching his mark from last season.
He posted a 106 OPS+ with 46 extra-base hits, 71 RBI, 86 runs scored and 18 steals while recording a career-high 4.2 WAR in 2022. Age is working in his favor for a long-term deal, and he could move into the top 10 in these rankings by the end of the 2023 season. Hoskins posted a 122 OPS+ with 33 doubles, 30 home runs, 79 RBI and a career-high 2.9 WAR in 156 games in 2022, and he will be the top first baseman and one of the best power hitters on the market next offseason.
