Cubs Reignite Trade Talks for Marlins’ Ace Edward Cabrera
As the Chicago Cubs eye potential upgrades to their starting rotation, the front office is weighing both free-agent acquisitions and trade opportunities. With notable pitchers like Framber Valdez, Zac Gallen, Ranger Suarez, and Tatsuya Imai still available on the market, the Cubs are poised to make a move that could reshape their pitching staff.
Blockbuster Deals in Chicago
Jed Hoyer and his team have demonstrated a knack for major offseason trades, with last winter’s acquisition of Kyle Tucker serving as a prime example. Although Tucker is likely to explore other options as a free agent, his addition played a crucial role in helping the Cubs achieve their best season since 2017. This history of bold moves signals that the Cubs could be ready to make another significant trade.
Interest in Edward Cabrera
Reports indicate that the Cubs have rekindled their interest in Miami Marlins’ right-handed pitcher Edward Cabrera. According to a November 14 article, during last season’s trade deadline, the Cubs were actively pursuing Cabrera, showing considerable interest in the young ace. With numbers that speak for themselves—an 8-7 record, a 3.53 ERA, and 150 strikeouts over 137.2 innings pitched across 26 starts—Cabrera has emerged as a valuable asset in the Marlins’ rotation.
The potential for a trade involving Cabrera suggests a strategic move by the Cubs, who are eager to enhance their pitching depth. As discussions begin to heat up again, fans will be keenly watching how this story unfolds. The Cubs, armed with a history of impactful trades, may once again make waves in the league.
