"Kirschner and Rosenthal also reported that the Yankees are keeping talks open with the Brewers on Freddy Peralta, who might not be an alternative to Cabrera. This might just be a negotiating tactic from Brian Cashman, as it's hard to see them ponying up the massive prospect haul it would take to acquire two starters via trade, but it's pretty clear the Yanks are trying to add at least one starter."
"The Cubs have long been connected to Cabrera, who is under control via arbitration for three more seasons. His expected salary for 2026 is only around $4 million, so his addition would hardly impact payroll this coming season while remaining very reasonable over the next two years. On the flip side, that means he'll command a big return in prospects and/or MLB-level players."
The Yankees and Marlins are engaged in active trade talks centered on hard-throwing right-hander Edward Cabrera. New York is simultaneously keeping discussions open with the Brewers about Freddy Peralta, likely aiming to add at least one starter rather than two. Cabrera remains under team control via arbitration for three seasons with a modest projected 2026 salary near $4 million, which increases his trade value and expected prospect return. The Marlins would likely seek a pitcher in return, with names such as Spencer Jones and Ben Hess mentioned in prior trade conversations. The Yankees possess deeper pitching prospects than the Cubs, influencing trade demands.
