WASHINGTON — If Manny Machado had already been traded before the All-Star Game here Tuesday night, he didn’t know about it.
“Nothing, nothing,” the star shortstop said when asked what he has been told by the Baltimore Orioles or his agents. “I haven’t heard anything.”
A USA Today report indicated the Orioles and Los Angeles Dodgers had worked out a trade that will be announced Wednesday. That would be news to Machado, and according to one source, the Phillies remained confident Tuesday in their ability to land the top prize on the midseason trade market.
Machado is expecting to be traded any day.
