Outfielder Matt Kemp and pitcher Ross Stripling, two of the Los Angeles Dodgers' three representatives at Tuesday night's All-Star Game, welcomed the possibility that the American League's starting shortstop Manny Machado could join them after the break.
The Orioles plan to trade him before play resumes Friday, but not before he represents them as their lone All-Star on Tuesday at Nationals Park. The Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies had distinguished themselves in their offers recently, but the possible inclusion of Dodgers outfield prospect Yusniel Díaz has the Orioles' attention.
