I'm still all-in on Edward Cabrera

[ClassicO]

He's not been consistent, but this guy is 27, arb-eligible next year (so maybe on the block) and has nasty stuff when right. Worth a gamble, but the Marlins would want young bats as they have no offense and don't want to spend.

Some videos of his arsenal.

Another on trade rumors as one of the 2 they may trade.

I'd love Ryan Weathers, who is on the IL with lat strain. I look at him for 2026, not now.

The Cards may also want to try to get Anthony Bender, who is closest to being an FA and effective vs RH, with a new sweeper.

The Marlins need young offense, including a 2b, 3b, CF, and a decent DH, and even a catcher, although Agustin Ramirez has been very good for them so far. We have what they need. Trade fodder = some combo (not all!) of Davis, Baez, Saggese, Crooks, Church, and some long-range guy like Yairo Padilla.

I really wanted him two years ago, then injuries started piling up, plus his BB rate holds him back. His walk rate is better this year, and that's the key for him. He's always had the stuff, it was just a matter of health and control. I'd sure take a chance trading for him. He has Cy Young potential.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see us making any moves of significance at all over the trade deadline. They will just stand pat as they hover around the #3 wild card spot. This will keep us from getting players like Cabrera because we are sitting on our hands this year. If we start losing and fall out of it by the trade deadline, we probably will only trade for prospects, which will essentially be trading for suspects. Sorry for the glass half empty feeling.

We have no bats... except in the belfry
