There’s no coincidence that inside the Orioles clubhouse at the Ed Smith Stadium complex, the lockers of Manny Machado and Robert Andino are right next to each other.
They are players on very different sides of their careers. Machado is one of the games brightest young stars and one of the club’s most popular players all before his 25th birthday. He’s already a three-time All-Star, finished top 10 in AL MVP voting three times and has won two Rawlings Gold Gloves, including one Platinum Glove as the league’s top overall defender. And many believe the best is yet to come.
