00:00it's a great start for casey and before cub fans saw edward cabrera last night i got texts on
00:09sunday morning to hit and run why did we trade casey for a number four starter because cabrero
00:15came out fourth he's not gonna be fourth at the end of the year when it counts edward cabrera
00:21is an arm that could start a playoff game you knew that and you saw that down in miami why
00:29would the marlins give up on edward cabrera i i don't think it was give up i i think peter
00:35bendix
00:35the marlins president of baseball operations like he he saw value met for edward cabrera and and cabbie
00:41you you have to keep in mind his struggle to stay on the field at points last year was far
00:47and away
00:47the most complete season that he has put together in terms of availability over the last bit but
00:52i think they saw the opportunity to go and get a guy like owen casey and a prospect like christian
00:58hernandez and another prospect on top of that and said the values being met here let's go get
01:04an everyday corner outfielder for the foreseeable future and shed maybe some injury volatility with
01:09edward cabrera um but it was undeniable and last year no exception last night no exception this guy's
01:17a tier one talent in major league baseball i mean he throws that that fastball being 98 to 99 that
01:24change up being 95 to 96 and that curveball was my favorite pitch that he has everybody wants to
01:28talk about the power change up that curveball is one of the nastiest if not the nastiest curveball
01:33for a starting pitcher in major league baseball it's up there with hunter brown and houston it's up there
01:38with a couple other guys i think that curveball is an absolute whiff machine if he's on the hill
01:44and he's in the vicinity of the strike zone and he's around the perimeter of the strike zone
01:47i mean you're talking about a front line guy but again owen casey everyday corner outfielder and the
01:53marlins felt like the the value was met there and uh it looks pretty darn even right now early returns
01:58would seem to say that we're pretty even so
02:00what
