After Machado trade, Orioles will still be deliberate in transforming major league roster

As much as the Orioles' trade of All-Star Manny Machado signaled what they call an organizational shift in philosophy that will include all sorts of upgrades to the player development machine in an effort to rebuild the club for the future, it will be a while yet before that forward-focus truly takes hold at the major league level.

Machado's trade opens up a roster spot, and there's plenty of clamor for the likes of outfield prospects Cedric Mullins and DJ Stewart to get their major league chances as the first wave of new faces to debut for the Orioles.
