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 😄 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’s learning that his slower cutter doesn’t 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. The walks are obviously bad, but he literally only had one walk all year before this so don’t want to overreact to that too much. Threw a ton of pitches (37) so we probably won’t see him again for a bit. I’m pumping the brakes on my enthusiasm, he’s not going to be Mason Miller 2.0 this season but I’m still very impressed by the stuff and optimistic we’ll see him at the MLB level before the end of the year. -
Funds to spend internationally hasn’t been a problem. They’re capped and the O’s generally have spent their allotment the last 3-4 years, or close. It’s a matter of how much you devote to 1-2 very hot prospects and how much you spread around. Nothing to do with ownership. -
If he’s sufficiently recovered from Sunday, I’d definitely have him start the resumption of yesterday’s game.

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