US EditionCubs Agree to Acquire Right-Hander Edward Cabrera in a Trade with the Marlins, AP Source Says
- On Jan 7, 2026, the Chicago Cubs are finalizing a deal to acquire right-handed pitcher Edward Cabrera from the Miami Marlins, ESPN's Jesse Rogers and others confirmed.
- Seeking cost-controlled pitching throughout the offseason, the Cubs targeted Cabrera whose $3.75 million 2026 salary and arbitration eligibility offer three years of team control.
- Despite his 2025 breakthrough, Cabrera’s career has been injury-prone, appearing in just 29 games over parts of five seasons with a 1.228 WHIP and nearly 10 K/9, with a change-up reaching 96 mph.
- The return package is unclear, with reports saying Miami could receive top position-player prospects and Cubs outfield prospect Owen Caissie, while Chicago would bolster its rotation with Edward Cabrera alongside Shota Imanaga, Cade Horton, and Justin Steele.
- Marlins are trading now to stockpile pieces for the future, leveraging depth with starters Sandy Alcantara and Eury Pérez to improve their long-term outlook.
