LOS ANGELES -- Although there's radio silence from the Dodgers, multiple reports Tuesday indicated that Los Angeles is close to an acquisition of Orioles superstar shortstop Manny Machado. Whom the Orioles would receive in return is not clear at this point, although one possible name that surfaced on Tuesday was Yusniel Diaz, the 21-year-old Cuban outfielder at Double-A Tulsa, who slugged two home runs in Sunday's SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game. Diaz is ranked as the No. 4 prospect in the Dodgers' organization and No. 84 overall by MLB Pipeline.
Regardless of the destination, a trade announcement is not expected on Tuesday, when the spotlight is reserved for the All-Star Game presented by Mastercard.
