Manny Machado's abrupt mid-game departure gives Orioles tuneup for the inevitable

As the Orioles’ clubhouse cleared out for the All-Star break Sunday, Manny Machado was sent to his fourth All-Star Game with well-wishes from his teammates — a few fistbumps, several hugs and a lot of good lucks as he goes on to perform on one of baseball’s biggest stages.

He will wear an Orioles uniform in Tuesday’s All-Star Game at Nationals Park — manager Buck Showalter said that much after the team’s 6-5 win over the Texas Rangers — but anything after that is no given as the Orioles continue to move toward trading their best player before the nonwaiver trade deadline July 31.
