The Baltimore Orioles are very close to trading Manny Machado, according to multiple reports, and are expected to complete a deal involving the All-Star shortstop at some point this week.
As Machado prepares for Tuesday night's All-Star Game in what could be his final appearance in an Orioles uniform, Fancred reported that the Los Angeles Dodgers have emerged as the leading contender to acquire Machado in a trade.
