BALTIMORE -- As Manny Machado trade rumors continue to heat up with the Yankees in town this week, count Orioles manager Buck Showalter among those who wouldn't rule out the possibility of an intradivision swap.
Asked if he would be surprised if Baltimore did deal Machado -- a free agent after this season -- to the Yankees, Showalter said: "No, not really. Nothing surprises me in today's baseball world."
It's well known that the Orioles are fielding offers for Machado, who is considered one of the best available players in advance of the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline.
