O's may move Manny Machado to shortstop if he's not traded

The Baltimore Orioles are considering moving Manny Machado from third base back to shortstop in 2018 -- if they don't move him to another team before Opening Day. A source confirmed a report in The Athletic that the Orioles have begun fielding offers on Machado, a three-time All-Star who will be eligible for free agency next winter. The source said the Orioles are "not shopping, but listening'' to trade proposals from other clubs.
