Yankees Engage Marlins on Edward Cabrera as Starter Market Tightens

The discussions reflect New York's push for cost-controlled rotation help given early-season injuries.

Overview

  • The Athletic reports the Yankees are in talks with Miami on 27-year-old righty Edward Cabrera, with no agreement close as of Sunday.
  • Rival interest includes the Mets and Cubs, while the Astros and Orioles have stepped back, according to the Miami Herald.
  • New York also remains engaged with the Brewers on Freddy Peralta, signaling an effort to add at least one more starter.
  • Cabrera posted a career-best 2025 with a 3.53 ERA and 150 strikeouts in 137.2 innings and is under control through 2028 at a projected $3.7 million for 2026.
  • Clubs are weighing Cabrera’s upside against recent elbow, shoulder and blister issues, and any trade is expected to require significant prospect capital given Miami’s leverage.
