Overview
- Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports Baltimore and Houston are no longer pursuing Edward Cabrera after their trades for Shane Baz and Mike Burrows reshaped the starter market.
- Miami retains club control of Cabrera through 2028 at a projected $3.7 million arbitration salary for 2026 and is not inclined to sell low, with Sandy Alcántara viewed as unavailable barring an extraordinary offer.
- With two major suitors out, other clubs, including the Yankees, could have a clearer path to engage on Cabrera if they meet the Marlins’ asking price.
- Toronto has continued to prioritize offense after heavy pitching additions, with reporting linking the Blue Jays to Kyle Tucker and noting the implications such a move could have for a Bo Bichette reunion.
- Alex Bregman’s market features active interest from the Cubs, Blue Jays and Diamondbacks, according to multiple reports, while the Reds have reached an agreement with outfielder J. J. Bleday.
