The Yankees and Miami Marlins are in trade talks about a potential deal for starting pitcher Edward Cabrera, according to a report by Chris Kirschner and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, who added that “no deal was close” as of Sunday morning.
The Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants are also believed to be interested, according to a subsequent report by Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that the Mets have also shown interest.
The 27-year-old RHP is under team control through the 2028 campaign and estimated to make $3.75 million in this year’s arbitration, according to Spotrac.com.
In a career-high 137.2 IP across 26 games this past season, Cabrera went 8-7 with a 3.53 ERA and 1.23 WHIP. He had 150 strikeouts to 48 walks and 10 hit batters.
The 2025 campaign saw him progress from his 2024 season, in which he was 4-8 with a 4.95 ERA over 20 games and 96.1 IP.
Cabrera went 7-7 with a 4.24 ERA through 22 games (20 starts) and 99.2 IP in 2023. He was 6-4 with a 3.01 ERA in 14 games (all starts) and 71.2 IP the previous year.

His debut season, the 2021 campaign, saw him go 0-3 with a 5.81 ERA in seven games — all starts.
Cabrera’s MLB debut was Aug. 25, 2021, when he allowed three runs on four hits in 6.1 IP of Miami’s 4-3 win over the Washington Nationals.
The Marlins signed Cabrera as an international free agent from the Dominican Republic in July 2015.
