"Cabrera is a hard-throwing right-hander who turns 28 this year, and has three years of team control remaining. He's got great stuff but has had somewhat mixed success so far with the Marlins, though with the usual "It's the Marlins" grain of salt. He's currently projected for about a 2 fWAR season next year with an ERA around 4, but let's look at the trends over the past few years."
"The arrow is certainly pointing in the right direction for Cabrera's walk rate! It is an especially good sign that he those numbers changed without a significant difference in his statcast pitch numbers. His fastball average velo actually ticked up a small amount to 97mph, and also, lol, his changeup clocks in at 93-94. He throws a wide variety of pitches overall, and the only potentially significant change in 2025 was that he started throwing a two-seamer much more often than a four-seamer -"
The Chicago Cubs acquired right-hander Edward Cabrera from the Miami Marlins in exchange for outfielder Owen Caissie, A-ball shortstop Cristian Hernandez, and DSL outfielder Edgardo De Leon. The Cubs also signed third baseman Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million contract. Cabrera is a 27-28 year old hard-throwing right-hander with three years of team control and mixed results with Miami. Statcast shows a slight uptick in fastball velocity to about 97 mph and an unusually high-velocity changeup around 93–94 mph. Cabrera's walk rate has improved, pitch mix shifted toward a two-seamer, and ground-ball rate remained consistent.
