According to reporting by
Tim Daniels of
BleacherReport.com,
the Arizona Diamondbacks are the most "persistent" team in the trade talks with Baltimore to land
Manny Machado. Reports also indicate that both
The Evil Ones and Red Sox are still in the mix—although former Sox and current Oriole GM
Dan Duquette is finding it hard to convince his owner to deal within the division. Another hurdle for both New York and Boston is Machado's desire to switch to shortstop—meaning potential displacement of players like
Didi Gregorious and
Xander Bogaerts. Stay tuned!
