Trumbo begins rehab games tomorrow

If Cleveland is going to trade for help, then they would be complete idiots for trading for Trumbo. There will be many hitters with a higher probability of performing available. Reverse the roles and imagine your response if the Orioles did this. Heck, the Parra trade looks brilliant compared to a 2019 Trumbo trade.

Trey Mancini for example. I still don’t get why the Indians didn’t sign Adam Jones.

Trumbo would be a no-risk deal. They have no money and no fans. They cannot afford to take on salary or risk.

The probability that Trumbo produces anything is near zero. He’s very likely to be back on IL within weeks of getting called up. IF Cleveland trades for a bat, it will be for  a player with a higher probability of performing.

The Indians also have some very good options in the minors. Check out Bobby Bradley.

Trumbo coming back significantly decreases my interest in this team.

I doubt Trey Mancini is available, he has 3 years after this with team control. Zero reason to trade him.

    • I would agree.  Not sure if he can pitch this season or not (probably not), but the way they do that surgery now along with the healing powers of platelet injections?    A pitcher can be back throwing and almost 100% within 8 months.  I have the exact same injury as Felix along with a bone chip in my right elbow and I was told if I have the surgery I will feel basically brand new after 6-8 months.   Granted I am not trying to throw 95 MPH 8 months later.
    • Ding ding ding. It’s the crab pot mentality. Most will drag you back to the bottom rather than allow others to climb out to freedom. It’s the old misery loves company.   Sadly for my Orioles fans, they have used this misery as a warm blanket and have even rationalized their sorrow by way of linking up with other sorrowful fans. It’s a sort of companionship in misery. Suddenly the orioles start to do well, as if this wasn’t the plan by Elias all along, and many orioles fans are still clinging to their long held beliefs that the shoe will drop, that the end is nigh, and that success will all come crashing down.   After all, failure is what they have grown accustomed to, it’s all they know, their world is an abject failure, so when the team they love suddenly starts doing well…they have no idea what to do. They lash out. They find fault where there is none, and their extreme uncomfort becomes full display to all those who might say “yeah but we’re good now, things are good now” but that simply can not be so. There must be something wrong. The shoe will drop. The loss will happen. My life is not fulfilled without the thumping of the chest from the loser Oriole who proclaims to his tribe, “see, I told you so!” sad sacks of shit, the lot of them!
    • Another MLB player, once a teammate and friend of Ohtani, maybe tied to gambling. I didn't bother to try to understand the exact timeline or tie to Ohtani, which seems to be just as friends, but here it is for anyone interested. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40166891/angels-david-fletcher-bet-bookie
    • Not for someone who has money riding on him winning the award.
    • Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?
