Overview

  • The Athletic reports the Yankees have discussed a trade with the Marlins for 27-year-old right-hander Edward Cabrera, and multiple outlets note no deal was close as of Sunday morning.
  • Cabrera is under team control through 2028 and is projected to earn about $3.7 million in arbitration this year, enhancing his appeal as a cost-efficient option.
  • He is coming off a career-best 2025 season with a 3.53 ERA, 150 strikeouts and 137.2 innings across 26 starts.
  • Durability remains a concern after two injured-list stints last season (finger blister and right elbow sprain) and prior shoulder issues in 2024.
  • The Yankees are also in talks with the Brewers about Freddy Peralta, while the Mets and Cubs are among other clubs reported to have interest in Cabrera as New York seeks cover for early-season absences of Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón and Clarke Schmidt.
