Now this would be a blockbuster.
As potential suitors, including the Phillies, for Orioles shortstop Manny Machado line up before the July 31 Major League Baseball trade deadline, an out-of-nowhere contender could soon emerge.
One idea floated by Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe: Machado to the Nationals to pair with Bryce Harper.
The Braves, Indians, Phillies, Dodgers, and Brewers are mentioned a lot with Manny Machado. The Cardinals are another team that should be in the hunt for the Orioles shortstop as they need something to energize that team.
