Orioles Step Back from Edward Cabrera Trade Pursuit
The Baltimore Orioles have decided to pivot their focus as they seek to bolster their starting rotation. Recent reports indicate that both the Orioles and the Houston Astros are no longer pursuing a trade for Miami Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera.
Marlins Maintain High Expectations
According to sources, the Miami Marlins are still open to discussions regarding Cabrera, but their expectations remain lofty. They are not inclined to settle for less than what they believe his value warrants. With the Orioles and Astros stepping back, the Marlins’ willingness to engage in trade talks could be hampered by their desire to retain Cabrera, alongside ace Sandy Alcantara. The Marlins would require an extraordinary offer to even consider parting ways with Alcantara, highlighting their commitment to maintaining a competitive roster.
As the offseason progresses, the Orioles will need to explore alternative options to enhance their pitching lineup, while the Marlins continue to navigate their trading strategy with a clear focus on value.
