Why would Fabian be trade bait? He is a RH bat that can play a plus CF. The ideal situation for him would be continued improvement into a platoon/4th OF on next year's team. -

Not a good night to say the least. I accept partial responsibility聽馃槃 Still got a lot of whiffs. 6 swings on the cutter, 4 whiffs and the 2 homers. Based on Gameday the two pitches were virtually identical, the ~88mph cutter down and in to lefties and just catching the strike zone. First homer absolutely mashed 455 ft, second one looks like a cheapie with a 93.4 mph EV. Not bad pitches at all really, but maybe he鈥檚 learning that his slower cutter doesn鈥檛 play in the zone there to lefties when it speeds up the bat and they can drop the bat head on it. He probably needs to either throw that slower cutter/slider out of the zone back foot or the harder cutter in on the hands.聽 The walks are obviously bad, but he literally only had one walk all year before this so don鈥檛 want to overreact to that too much. Threw a ton of pitches (37) so we probably won鈥檛 see him again for a bit. I鈥檓 pumping the brakes on my enthusiasm, he鈥檚 not going to be Mason Miller 2.0 this season but I鈥檓 still very impressed by the stuff and optimistic we鈥檒l see him at the MLB level before the end of the year.聽 -
Funds to spend internationally hasn鈥檛 been a problem. They鈥檙e capped and the O鈥檚 generally have spent their allotment the last 3-4 years, or close. 聽It鈥檚 a matter of how much you devote to 1-2 very hot prospects and how much you spread around. 聽Nothing to do with ownership. 聽 -
If he鈥檚 sufficiently recovered from Sunday, I鈥檇 definitely have him start the resumption of yesterday鈥檚 game.聽

No just my guess. Part of the fun of following a team. Edited my OP to avoid confusion.聽 -
When he has both breaking balls working like he did last night he鈥檚 so much fun to watch. 聽 Would anyone be surprised if he wins a CYA before his career is over? -
