Yankees Open Trade Talks With Marlins for Edward Cabrera

Early discussions reflect urgency following elbow surgeries to starters Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, Clarke Schmidt.

Overview

  • The Athletic reports the Yankees have discussed a deal for the 27-year-old right-hander with Miami, with no agreement close as of Sunday.
  • Cabrera is coming off a 2025 breakout (3.53 ERA, 150 strikeouts in 137.2 innings) and is under team control through 2028 with a projected $3.7 million 2026 salary.
  • Durability remains a concern after a shoulder impingement in 2024 and two 2025 injured-list stints for a finger blister and a right elbow sprain.
  • New York is also engaging the Brewers on Freddy Peralta, while rival interest in Cabrera from the Mets and Cubs adds competition.
  • Any deal is expected to require substantial prospects, with external proposals suggesting names such as Spencer Jones, Ben Hess, Dillon Lewis and Roderick Arias.
