Two years later, Orioles prospects acquired in Manny Machado trade have progress stalled by shutdown

Perhaps fittingly, Orioles pitching prospect Dean Kremer’s addition to this summer’s player pool came with an assignment to the secondary camp at Double-A Bowie.

So, too, could the assignment for former top prospect Yusniel Diaz, who manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday is “a definite candidate to go to the alternate site” if he’s added to the player pool this summer.

Two years after the July 18, 2018 trade that brought Diaz and Kremer plus infielder Rylan Bannon, reliever Zach Pop and infielder Breyvic Valera from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Orioles in an All-Star break trade for star infielder Manny Machado, Bowie has been the place those players have spent nearly all of their time with the organization.
