The Baltimore Orioles have reportedly confirmed that Manny Machado’s last time wearing an Orioles uniform will come on Tuesday at the All-Star game. They will trade him on Wednesday and the current frontrunner is the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Baltimore #Orioles say that barring a last minute snag, they will trade Manny Machado on Wednesday with the #Dodgers, #Brewers and #Phillies still in talks. The #Dodgers remain the likely destination over the #Brewers.

This news comes just a day after it was reported that the Philadelphia Phillies would be landing the best trade deadline player available. The Dodgers must have come in hot with an offer that topped what the Phillies were originally offering.
The Brewers and Phillies are likely putting together stronger offers for the slugging All-Star shortstop as they attempt to pry him away from the Dodgers. It looks like National League playoff picture will be shaped by this deal.
