The Orioles do not want to pay Daniel Cabrera’s $4MMish salary in 2009, that much is certain. Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun says Andy MacPhail is trying to trade Cabrera, and otherwise he’ll be non-tendered.
Cabrera, 28 in May, saw his strikeout rate plummet in 2008. He also lost a couple miles per hour off his fastball.
