Phillies Machado hopes aren’t dead after Dodgers prospect reportedly fails physical

During the All-Star game Tuesday night, multiple reports said barring a snag, the Los Angeles Dodgers had beaten out the Phillies and other teams in acquiring Orioles shortstop Manny Machado.

Now, there might be an issue with one or two of the Dodgers prospects thought to be in the trade.

MLB Network’s Steve Phillips, who worked as the general manager of the New York Mets from 1997-2003, reported Wednesday afternoon that the Orioles haven’t cleared one or two of the Dodgers prospects.

Phillips’s account is not verified, but it is, in fact, the real person tweeting this information.
