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. 2 spot in the lineup.Since Machado can become a free agent at the end of the season, it is unclear if he has a future with the Dodgers beyond 2018.The four-time All-Star isn't looking too far ahead http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-khris-davis-jersey , but he has lofty goals for his time in Los Angeles:"I want to win.

They are the only team in the division that isn'tat least 10 games under .500.While Cleveland has assured itself another chance to compete for a World Series title http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-khris-davis-jersey , this has been a different season for manager Terry Francona to navigate than 2016 and 2017. Relief stalwarts Andrew Miller and Cody Allen haven't been as reliable.Miller has only appeared in 30 games because of three stints on the disabled list. Allen is on pace to post the worst ERA (4.06) of his career and highest WHIP (1.32) and strikeouts per nine innings (10.6) since his rookie season of 2012.The front office added Brad Hand and Adam Cimber in a midseason trade with the San Diego Padres to boost a bullpen that had a 5.28 ERA before the All-Star break. It made another splash Aug. 31 by acquiring 2015 AL MVP Josh Donaldson from the Toronto Blue Jays.Despite those relief struggles, Cleveland has played well thanks to continued success from AL MVP candidates Jose Ramirez and Lindor.

He's followed by Corey Kluber (4.8) at No. 5, Carlos Carrasco at No. 6 (4.7)andMike Clevinger at No. 7 (4.1).After leading the AL with 102 victories last season Glenn Hubbard Jersey , the Indians haven't generated the same buzz in 2018 because the Astros, Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees could all win 100 games.Francona and his coaching staff have built a team capable of winning a World Series. Their starting rotation can dominate opposing lineups. If Miller can play well after his latest shoulder injury and Allen can get back on track, they will have bullpen depth with Hand as the stabilizing force.Brantley, Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion have excellent track records with the potential to provide additional pop in the lineup.The Indians own the longest World Series drought in MLBat 69 years. They can end that when they start their playoff run next month.
