The O’s are said to be “trying hard” to get Cashner, but they might not even be front-runners. And is it even a good idea to try hard to get Cashner?
The Orioles and the Padres were not able to come to a deal on Melvin Upton, which doesn’t mean the O’s are done talking to the Padres as the trade deadline approaches. Starting pitcher Andrew Cashner remains on the O’s radar, and Fox’s Ken Rosenthal reports that the Orioles are “trying hard” to pull off a deal for Cashner.
That is one of those baseball rumor mill phrases that sounds serious but maybe doesn’t mean a dang thing.
