From Rochs MASN article

Manny Machado made it through batting practice, the anthem and the game without a trade. He’s still an Oriole as they shower, dress and head home.
The Yankees have made an offer for Machado, but it doesn’t include prized left-hander Justus Sheffield, according to a source. MLB.com ranks Sheffield as the organization’s No. 2 prospect, while Baseball America puts him at No. 3.
The Orioles would love to put him in their rotation, but they’re not getting him for a Machado rental.
They are known to like outfielder Clint Frazier and third baseman Miguel Andújar, but at least one top pitching prospect is necessary in any deal.
The collection of scouts at Camden Yards tonight included representatives from the Phillies, Diamondbacks, Red Sox, Mariners and Mets. The Nationals and Astros routinely have someone here.

Why would scouts want to follow Manny around. Or really any other current Os player for that matter. You know in general what the player brings and you can get video and other data every night if you want to track velocity, movement on pitches,etc.

Because that’s what pro scouts do. They are assigned to games that the team is either playing soon or potentially trading for a player.

The Nats scouts must be at Oriole games to scout the opposing team, because the Nats and Orioles never deal with each other.

Does this surprise anybody?  The Orioles are exactly this stupid.

Yep..also says Manny wants to play in the game. Os want him to play because it’s in DC.

I don’t think they will hold up a deal though. But we’ll see.

Seems like they are close. Figure something should get done soon.

[tennOsfan]

I don't give a **** if he plays the All-Star Game or not. Just make the best deal, whenever.

[SportsGuy]

As an Os fan, I can root for Manny this coming Tuesday no matter what uni he is wearing

[You Play to Win the Game]

The AS game thing is ridiculously stupid on epic levels. If he gets hurt between now and Sunday, they will fully deserve that outcome.

Are there any Machado promotions later this month? Or season? Because it guarantees he'll be here at least through whatever dates those promotions are.

Nothing specifically Machado is scheduled:

Where do you feel Machado ends up and for what return?

Brewers and Dodgers make most sense, but honestly, if I'm betting, I'd bet on him not moving at all.
