Part 7/12:
Fabian, a former second-round pick, offers outfield depth and potential power, but health and consistency questions linger. The Orioles’ need to add him to their 40-man roster or risk losing him in Rule 5 drafts makes him an intriguing trade chip.
Why would Orioles trade him?
They already have outfield prospects like Coby Mayo and others, and Fabian's injury history complicates his developmental timeline.
They might be willing to part with him as part of a rotation upgrade.
Reliever Yaner Canó has fallen out of favor in Baltimore but presents some upside as a late-inning reliever with a variety of pitches. The Orioles’ bullpen depth could allow them to move him in a deal, especially if they’re prioritizing starting pitching.
