Diamondbacks in contact with Orioles about Manny Machado trade
The Arizona Diamondbacks "have been in contact" with the Baltimore Orioles about a possible trade for third baseman Manny Machado, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
What It Means:
"This is viewed as due diligence" for the time being, according to Morosi, but Arizona better get serious fast, with the likely market developing for the young superstar. Machado has a .310/.377/.567 triple-slash line with 18 home runs and 53 RBI in 302 plate appearances this season. With Baltimore coming into Tuesday at a paltry 20-50 and Machado scheduled to become a free agent this winter, it's all but certain he'll be traded somewhere this year.
Our models project Machado to hit .292 with 21 home runs, 51 runs, 57 RBI, and 6 stolen bases in 366 more plate appearances in 2018.
