Overview
- Chicago finalized a four-player trade to land right-hander Edward Cabrera, with Miami receiving Owen Caissie, Cristian Hernández and Edgardo De Leon.
- Owen Caissie, ranked as the Cubs’ top prospect, hit .286 with 22 home runs at Triple-A Iowa last season and is considered ready for an extended major-league look.
- Cristian Hernández, a 22-year-old infielder with speed and defensive tools, and Edgardo De Leon, a 19-year-old corner bat, add developmental depth to Miami’s system.
- Cabrera, 27, is under team control for three more seasons after posting a 3.53 ERA with 150 strikeouts in 137 innings in 2025.
- The Marlins weighed Cabrera’s multiple IL stints and late-season elbow discomfort as they targeted offense, and CBS Sports graded the deal an A for Chicago and a B for Miami.
