The way everyone was talking during Tuesday night’s All-Star Game, the Orioles trading Manny Machado to the Dodgers was so inevitable that nothing could stop it or even halt it, with Machado himself even seeming to get a kick out of posing for photos with future Dodgers teammates.
That was then. As Wednesday dragged along and there was no news from the Warehouse, or even a hint of news, you had to start to wonder if something weird was about to happen. Sure enough, it seems like something weird has happened.
