🧵A trade involving #Marlins pitchers and #Orioles hitters still makes sense. No idea what talks have been had, but MIA is reportedly open to trading Edward Cabrera, and he’s a great fit for BAL. Here are some scenarios, starting with a simple swap: Cabrera for Jordan Westburg Image
Some caveats: Baseball Trade Values is a useful way-finding tool, but it is flawed and often does not understand the market’s perspective on a player. I’m using it as a reference here and adding commentary when I think it misses the mark.
I think BTV’s valuation of Cabrera is a tad conservative. Command and durability do create reliever risk, but many evaluators will see the stuff, the size and the 2022 step forward and dream of a #2 with 6 years of control. That’s extremely valuable.

It’s bad for my health that they’re out there playing, I mean

It's August 28, 1974. The defending AL East champion #Orioles manage just 6 hits off the Rangers' Jackie Brown for their 4th straight loss, putting them 2 games below .500. It also drops them behind Cleveland to 4th place, 8 games behind Boston.

They're about to make history. 1/
The O's salvage the series finale, then go to KC and sweep the Royals. Dave McNally, who took the loss against Brown in Texas, gives up a meaningless 8th-inning run in the final game of the series before mowing down the Royals in the 9th. 2/
While the Orioles are steamrolling the Royals, the Red Sox get swept by the Twins, so their lead is down to 2 games over the Yankees, with the Orioles now 5 back, in third. And the Sox are headed to Baltimore for 3 games, starting with a Labor Day doubleheader. 3/

Look. Last I checked, tweets are free. You can tweet SELL SELL SELL till your fingers fall off, but that’s not their mindset now. There’s also a difference between “selling” and “SELLING.” Let’s day for the sake of argument the #sfgiants actually took a long, hard look in ....
.... the mirror and decided they should go in for a rebuild. It’s not gonna happen, but let’s pretend. It would be foolish for them to try to move guys like Bumgarner, Belt, Panik, etc... now, in a panic, because they’ve had a 2-5 week. That’s the kind of thing you do in ....
.... the offseason, when you can form a strategy and get a multitude of teams involved to get the best possible return. #orioles should have done that last winter with Machado and got fleeced. By then you’ll also have a better idea on Duggar, Slater, maybe Shaw and where they ...
