PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Vendors better hold-off on printing those Manny Machado Phillies t-shirts, there appears to be a twist in the sweepstakes.

On Monday night, it was widely reported that the Phillies had the best chance of landing the Baltimore third baseman in a trade.

On Tuesday, ESPN's Buster Olney is saying the Dodgers are the front-runners.

Olney says Baltimore has the structure of a deal in place, as the O's are now looking over the medical records of prospects involved in the trade.

Machado will play in his fourth career All-Star game Tuesday night.

Rumors have linked him to multiple teams and his teammates are having fun with it.

Meanwhile, the Phils may also have their eyes on Toronto left-hander J.A. Happ.

The 35-year-old becomes a free agent at the end of the season and he's on the trading block.

The 12-year vet spent his first three seasons in Philly. Tonight, he makes his first All-Star game appearance.
