Jon Heyman of FanCred reports that prospect outfielder Yusniel Diaz is in the Dodgers' offer for Oriole shortstop Manny Machado.
Heyman just reported a short while ago that the Dodgers "appear to be the leading contender" to land Machado. It's unclear if Diaz's inclusion is a part of that thinking, but he would be a strong get for Baltimore. The 21-year-old is batting .314/.428/.477 with six homers and eight steals over 59 games this season with Double-A Tulsa. Dustin May, Gavin Lux, and Keibert Ruiz are among some of the other Dodgers prospects that have been mentioned in talks. Jon Heyman of FanCred notes that the Dodgers would likely want to include a high-priced veteran in the deal as they try to keep an eye out for the luxury tax. We're moving quickly toward a resolution here, but nothing is done just yet. The Phillies, Brewers, and Diamondbacks reportedly remain in the mix.
