The Baltimore Orioles are going to trade Manny Machado. It’d be ludicrous not to. He’s unlikely to re-sign as a free agent this winter, and they’re not going to let their best player walk for nothing. Any MLB trade rumors are going to begin with his name featured. As such, a host of contenders are likely in the mix for his services. The Diamondbacks have been mentioned multiple times as a suitor. They’ll have competition, though. The Cubs, Cardinals, Phillies, Red Sox, and even the rival Dodgers are all considered potential landing spots.
It’s absolutely essential that the Diamondbacks are able to outclass each and every one of them in their offer.
