The offseason is in full swing, and teams around MLB are making moves to improve their rosters. Rumors are that the New York Yankees<\/a> are trying to find a starting pitcher via trade, and it appears they may have been in talks with the Miami Marlins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that the Yankees have reached out<\/a> to the Marlins about Edward Cabrera’s possible availability, according to Chris Kirschner and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. It’s a move the New York front office might be considering, as there are questions surrounding the starting rotation right now for next season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith 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 told\u00a0The Athletic.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants are also rumored to be interested<\/a> in the 27-year-old pitcher, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Despite Cabrera being a solid starting pitcher for the Marlins, the club’s depth at the position provides the front office with options to address other areas of need.<\/p>\n

\u201cYankees are talking to Marlins about Edward Cabrera, a terrifically talented pitcher coming off [an excellent year (3.53 ERA). Cubs and Giants (and others) also believed [to be] interested. Marlins’ pitching depth allows them to consider.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edward Cabrera is currently under Miami’s control through the 2028 campaign. Projections have the former Marlins’ Rookie of the Year Award winner<\/a> earning $3.7 million in arbitration in 2026. An agreement on his arbitration deal has not yet been reached.<\/p>\n

The 2025 campaign was arguably the best of Cabrera’s five-year career. He finished the season with a 3.53 ERA (second-best of his career) and a 1.228 WHIP while recording 150 strikeouts (career-high) through 137.2 innings pitched (career-high).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The offseason is in full swing, and teams around MLB are making moves to improve their rosters.
