The New York Yankees, who have been suspiciously quiet so far this offseason, may have some traction when it comes to finally acquiring rotation help.
According to The Athletic’s Chris Kirschner, the Yankees are in trade talks with the Miami Marlins for right-handed starting pitcher Edward Cabrera.
“With uncertainty surrounding their starting rotation to begin the season, the New York Yankees are talking to the Miami Marlins about a potential trade for starting pitcher Edward Cabrera, league sources toldThe Athletic,” Kirschner wrote.
Yankees’ Prior Interest in Cabrera
New York previously held interest in Cabrera as well as fellow Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara, the National League Cy Young Award winner in 2022, at the trade deadline last season.
Per MLB Network’s Jon Morosi, Miami was asking for top prospect Spencer Jones in any deal involving either Alcantara or Cabrera. The two sides didn’t find common ground before the deadline, and the Yankees opted to focus on adding multiple pieces to their bullpen with the likes of David Bednar, Camilo Doval and Jake Bird rather than supplementing their rotation.
