MLB Rumors: Yankees Make Bold Edward Cabrera Trade Push While Pirates Lurk for Projected $60,000,000 All-Star

The Yankees seek rotation depth with Cabrera, who had 150 strikeouts and a 3.53 ERA in 2025, controlled through 2028 at a $3.75 million salary.

  • On Sunday, The Athletic reported the New York Yankees engaged the Miami Marlins in talks for right-hander Edward Cabrera, though no deal was close as of Sunday morning.
  • Facing early-season absences for key starters, the Yankees are seeking rotation depth to cover Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón and Clarke Schmidt as division rivals add arms in the American League East.
  • Having developed a five-pitch arsenal, Cabrera held opponents to a.240 expected average and averaged a 96.9 mph fastball in 2025, reports say.
  • Given Cabrera's injury history, teams must balance prospect cost against durability risks from his recent elbow, knee and shoulder injuries, which could require the Yankees to trade Spencer Jones or Jasson Domínguez.
  • With the starter market expensive, Cabrera's team control through 2028 and $3.75 million arbitration projection make him appealing while the Yankees explore Freddy Peralta as an alternative.
