The Miami Marlins may have one less arbitration player to deal with in the coming week.
Per multiple reporters, the Miami Marlins are engaged in discussions with the New York Yankees about starting pitcher Edward Cabrera. The Marlins and Yankees had talked about Cabrera at last season’s trade deadline but did not make a deal.
Chris Kirschner and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (subscription required) were among the first to report that the conversations were happening. Later on Sunday, Yahoo! Sports’ Russell Dorsey reported the talks were “intensifying” but nothing was imminent.
It was thought just a few weeks ago at the Cabrera would remain with Miami for 2026. Now there is more momentum for the Marlins to trade him for what they hope would be a high return.
