He has made mental lapses this season.

Regardless, Roch has pretty good sources, and I suspect he is right.

Won't be too long, before we find out.

Money does talk (De Aza owed the most of the DFA candidates) and if Cabrera does agree, that is path of least resistance...

If he clears waivers. And stays. If he is DFAed he is also limbo for a few days.

I suspect he will clear waivers, not like he is batting that great.

I suspect DD had talks with Cabrera when he was signed in the first place.

I also believe that he stays on Major league per diem, while in the minors, since he is on a major league contract.

Duquette said a few days ago that when the infielders come off the DL an outfielder is likely to go. He probably knows something about what is going to happen.

Fast forward to the 2 minute mark.

Could be DL or DFA.

Yep, that is why I thought it will be De Aza. However, the trend with the Orioles is to save $ and De Aza would cost the most. Should be interesting. I am hoping to get rid of the extra OF myself.

So I've seen it twice in this thread, but I thought we had to DFA Cabrera and not simply send him down. Whatupwidat?

The Orioles could DFA Cabrera yesterday and it wouldn't be too soon. The guy is done as a major league player.

The payroll is at an all-time high, not sure how you can say this.

If Cabrera accepts AAA assignment, then they are paying 2.4 for a AAA SS.

The more I think about it, you are probably right.

Navarro could be back, if Hardy or Flaherty end back up on the DL.

O's don't like Navarro at SS. They bearly like him at 2B. After Hardy, Flaherty and Cabrera I would think Janish is the next in the O's SS pecking order.

Because IMO, De Aza is the weakest link by far, not Cabrera. I don't think Cabrera is great or anything ( I thought he would be much better) but he can play SS or 2nd and there is value there.

Also-random tidbit-don't forget Janish is a great fielder and Buck liked him in ST.

True, but Navarro can play short and is already on the 40 man roster.

I don't know about Janish's range, but it looks pretty good while watching the games. I know that has been a weak point of Navarro. Yeah-40-man makes all the difference, agreed.

Edit: the more I think of it and after watching DD during the rain delay last Thursday, I think we cut bait with an OF (to the DL). I hope it is De Aza, but what he basically said during that interview was injuries tend to make these decisions easier. Perhaps an OFer is DL-ed. I think that is what happens. He seemed to speak favorably of Cabrera.

Which could lead to his being stashed at AAA, instead of released. (if accepted)

Navarro would probably be okay for a very short time on the bench, but longer time, might make Buck go for Janish.

The waiting...is the hardest part.

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.

      Which core players beside Adley Rutschman struggled?

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      By Pat Kelly · Posted

      The entire commentary on Hyde and the team seems odd but have to admit there does seem to be something off.   Team seemed adrift for most of the 2nd half.  A very talented team went off the rails midway through the season mostly due to core players struggling and rookies not performing or filling in adequately for a few injured starters.    None of the position player trade line acquisitions performed that well.     Hyde seemed in over his head or at a loss on how to correct things, but he must have convinced Elias that he has a plan to fix things.  Curious to see what happens with the coaching staff.
