If he didn't intend to use Cabral why did he call him up?

He did use Cabral. He made two appearances during the Cleveland series.

Still, I don't really understand the timing of this move, if indeed it is Cabral or McFarland who gets sent down. Seems like it would be better to wait until Matusz's suspension is over to make this move.

Or maybe the O's are DFA'ing Matusz. But it'd be kind of a jerk move to do that in the middle of his suspension.

Would that even be a legal move?

Just in case we use a bunch of relievers in a game and need to call up someone, here is when guys already on the 40 man roster can be brought up:

Tyler Wilson - anytime

Eddie Gamboa - anytime

Jorge Rondon - anytime

Oliver Drake - Saturday

Mike Wright - next Monday

anyone sent down today - 10 days from now

Matusz will be back Sunday.

A couple of blowouts or extra inning games against the Red Sox and we're screwed for the Yankee series if we option a pitcher.

Roster moves can be made daily, and just a phone call away.

Maybe they trade Matusz and cash for a minor leaguer. That would open a spot for Reimold without having to make another move. I'm not sure if DFAing Matusz in the middle of the suspension would get the club off the hook for playing a man down, but I really have no idea.

This would make everyone on this board sing and dance, but doubtful that happens.

We really don't know. But what if we need two arms?

Are you saying you'd prefer to get rid of a position player (lough, young, pearce, snider, or Paredes) for good instead of dealing with the difference from TJ Mac to Gamboa in the off chance that we'll burn through 8 rested relievers over a four day span? The same McFarland who couldn't record an out in two of his last four appearances?

If you send McFarland down you have 6 relievers on the roster, so it would be 7 arms, not 8. As tight as games are between the O's and the Red Sox, I could see needing two fresh arms for Friday if we only have six on the roster. I'd rather have two lefties, other than Britton, in the pen for these games.

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      No they don’t but it would be a big help.

      How much faith do you have in Elias to address the needs this month?

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I don't really want to see an all in trade given the risk involved with picking up any pitcher in the game right now. I want to see if veteran players on a big contract are an option now with Rubenstein. A player like Max Scherzer should be on the table as a means to add another viable starting pitcher. I have to think under Angelos a player like Scherzer would be too expensive and a nonstarter. I'd rather pay $$$ for some high priced veterans over giving up top prospects for one pitcher that you pray doesn't get a sore elbow.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I’m not an actuary. That’s @Filmstudy realm. He’s a master at calculating odds. Here’s what I will say. I think (just my two cents) that Elias should be aiming to come away from the trade deadline with a starting pitcher who is a real difference maker. And hopefully a bullpen arm or two that have power/strikeout stuff (unlike all of our relievers currently not named Kimbrel). Elias should be trying to increase our odds as high as possible. I don’t know by what percent our odds will increase. But I do know that if we add a top of the rotation type pitcher to what we have, the odds of us likely being successful against ANY TEAM in the Fall will go up. This again is just my opinion (for whatever that is worth) but it sends the right message to the players that you are invested in truly trying to get this team over the line (World Series trophy). If the message that is sent to the players continues to be “one foot in and one foot out”. I’m not sure if that is a strong appeal to ultra competitors like Gunnar and Adley. People might say well who cares what the players think? But it is probably going to play a roll (what they think/how they feel) in whether or not they are willing to re-up here longterm. And I can’t envision a version of the Orioles that is as strong and as viable to maximizing the earnings/value of the franchise without them. I’ve said this before, but I attend a lot of games and I’m around town very often. I see all of the #2 and #35 shirts on people’s backs in the stadium and around the community. Lastly, I believe that it is very important that we do right for players like Stowers and Norby. I get and I’m sure they understand that there may not be a place for them on the Baltimore Orioles. But you can’t leave guys buried at AAA for years and never give them a chance, especially when we are talking about prime years. These guys only have so many years to make money by playing the game. If you can’t use them, send them elsewhere. I have never been a big believer that you get rewarded by treating people (and that is what all the players actually are) wrong.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By TopGunnar · Posted

      Holliday isn’t being traded lol. And I highly doubt Mayo is traded. Basallo is expendable to me. We have Adley.

      Coby Mayo 2024

      Seems logical with the lefties coming up. It's time. Get him a taste before the AS break, temporarily option someone, then make a deal at the deadline to jettison someone like Urias.

      Coby Mayo 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      I couldn’t help myself, I checked the replies and that guy on Twitter is saying it’s a rumor from the Mayo family but didn’t say where and he said it’s not anyone verified. So absolutely wouldn’t put any stock in that.  That said - I do see some logic here if there are a string of LHP coming up. Send Cowser to AAA for some more regular ABs, get Mayo up for the LHP and buy some time. Mullins plays CF and maybe Mateo is the backup CF or starts there vs the LHP (with Mayo 3B and Westburg 2B). The trade deadline is in 3 weeks. If they are committed to trading Urias, they could call up Cowser after the minimum AAA stint and DFA Urias, and then IIRC the DFA period to trade Urias is something like a week and would run through the trade deadline. They’d lose some leverage in trading him after a DFA, but that way they’ll know they will either get something for him then or there just never would have been enough demand across the league to move him.

      As much of a crapshoot as the playoffs are, I'd say a 5% boost is worth quite a bit.
