In 2025, his fifth MLB season, he demonstrated a career-best combination of control and durability. The Dominican right-hander owns a lifetime\u00a04.07 ERA and 25.9 K% in 431 \u2154 innings pitched as a big leaguer. Entering his age-28 season, Cabrera is still three years away from free agent eligibility.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tOn paper, the Yankees already have great starting rotation depth. However, Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rod\u00f3n and Clarke Schmidt are each expected to begin the 2026 campaign on the injured list. Re-signing Paul Blackburn and Ryan Yarbrough are the only offseason moves they&#8217;ve made thus far to address that issue.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTalks have progressed to the point that Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network says several high-ceiling prospects are headed to Miami if a deal gets done. The Marlins reportedly asked for power-hitting outfield prospect Spencer Jones when they <a href=\"https:\/\/fishonfirst.com\/miami-marlins-free-agents-trade-rumors\/rumors\/yankees-sandy-alcantara-edward-cabrera-spencer-jones-deadline-2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">previously talked<\/a> with the Yankees in late July. Although Jones has a very high ceiling, his vulnerability to strikeouts gives him a dangerously low floor as well. Infielder George Lombard Jr. is generally regarded as the No. 1 prospect in the Yankees system. In my opinion, he should be unavailable in any Cabrera deal.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBarry Jackson of the Miami Herald <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/flasportsbuzz\/status\/2007881622230913337?s=20\" rel=\"external nofollow\">corroborates<\/a>\u00a0the Yankees negotiations and adds that the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs have shown interest in Cabrera. The San Francisco Giants are <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JonHeyman\/status\/2007886377955016705?s=20\" rel=\"external nofollow\">another possible suitor<\/a>, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe timing of these rumors is unsurprising. Japanese star Tatsuya Imai reached an agreement with the Houston Astros earlier this weekend, which ought to open floodgates on what has generally been a slow-moving starting pitching market.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fishonfirst.com\/miami-marlins-free-agents-trade-rumors\/rumors\/trade-edward-cabrera-yankees-the-athletic-2026\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">View full rumor<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No deal is close as of Sunday morning, but according to Ken Rosenthal and Chris Kirschner of The&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5462,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2395],"tags":[5,4914,1816,778,58,4171,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-508963","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami-marlins","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-edward-cabrera","10":"tag-marlins","11":"tag-miami","12":"tag-miami-marlins","13":"tag-miamimarlins","14":"tag-mlb"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/115851437240587468","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
