chado could be traded before he gets a chance to return to his team after the All-Star break http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-curtis-granderson-jersey , which could make Tuesday's All-Star Game the last time he represents the organization.The 26-year-old had nothing but kind words to say about the only major league team he has known during a midgame interview."It was a tremendous honor to wear this uniform," Machado told Ken Rosenthal of Fox (via Luke Jones of WNST.net). "They gave me the opportunity to come upplay in the big leagues. ... If this is the last time, hopefully I treated them welldid everything I can for the organization."Rosenthal reported Tuesday that a deal sending Machado to the Los Angeles Dodgers is "happening."The Orioles drafted the four-time All-Star in 2010, and he quickly moved through the organization, debuting in the majors by 2012 while helping the team reach the playoffs that year.He has only gotten better over the next few years, finishing in the top 10 of MVP voting in three different seasons. He also earned two Gold Gloves during this stretch.Now in the final year of team control before hitting free agency, Machado is putting up the best numbers of his career. In 96 games, the young player has 24 home runs Freddy Galvis Jersey , 65 RBI and a .315 batting average. His .963 OPS would also be a personal best.However, Baltimore's struggles (28-69) made him an ideal trade candidate heading into the deadline.While he has been a perfect ambassador for the Orioles throughout his career, the purposed trade could allow Machado to join a contender and potentially get to the World Series for the first time in his career. In 11 postseason games with the Dodgers, Machado has 11 hits, with three doubles, three home runs and nine RBI.As the cleanup hitter in the Los Angeles order, Machado needs to continue that production to steal a game in Boston on Tuesday or Wednesday.If there's any player who understands the ins and outs of Fenway Park and the Boston pitching staff, it's Machado Randal Grichuk Jersey , who is a .278 hitter in his career at Fenway.As long as the players in front of him in the order continue to reach base, Machado should be able to drive in a few runs in Boston to set the stage for success at home in Games 3, 4 and 5.Price, Sale Benefit From Extended RestHaving more than three days off at this stage of the postseason is unheard of.With Game 1 of the World Series coming five days after the Red Sox clinched the American League pennant with a 4-1 ALCS win over the Houston Astros, Chris Sale and David Price will start the first two games of the series on full rest.Since Sale wasn't used after Game 1 of the ALCS, he is the likely starter for World Series Game 1, with Clayton Kershaw in line to oppose him in a heavyweight battle of the game's top pitchers.Sale is 15-8 in his career on six or more days of rest, and in those outings he's produced a 1.67 ERA and 0.937 WHIP.Charles Krupa/Associated PressPrice Jose Bautista Jersey , who earned his first postseason win as a starting pitcher in Game 5 of the ALCS, will enter Game 2 on a normal five days of rest.The Red Sox will be in position to win both games because of the long starts turned in by Sale and Price, and since both pitchers are left-handed, it presents a set of lineup decisions for Dodgers manager Dave Roberts to make.Los Angeles' deep lineup is more than capable of holding its own against Sale and Price, and if Roberts employs a similar strategy from the NLCS, David Freese, Yasiel Puig and Taylor are locks to start.Since there isn't much history between the Red Sox aces and the Dodgers lineup, Sale and Price should thrive during at least their first time through the Los Angeles order as they attempt to set the tone for the series. Series Prediction:Boston in seven.Given how strong both pitching staffs and lineups are http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-curtis-granderson-jersey , the margins will be slim.Winning on the road will be key for both sides, and expect at least one road victory out of both franchises.Game 7 at Fenway Park should be quite the spectacle, and the Red Sox will benefit from a pitching combination led by Sale to win their first championship since 2013.Follow Joe on Twitter, JTansey90.
