"Cabrera would have been a welcome addition to either starter rotation after posting a 3.53 ERA with a 1.220 WHIP and 150 strikeouts in 137.2 innings pitched the latter two setting new career bests. While his stuff is undeniable, creating a high ceiling, the 27-year-old has often been sabotaged by injuries, particularly elbow and shoulder issues. Still, an expansive arsenal that features a fastball with a 97-mph average speed has created solid metrics for his new franchise, the Cubs, to work with."
"Cabrera appeared to be a Mets special for David Stearns. He is due approximately $3.75 million this season and is under team control through 2028, making him a smaller-budget project to throw into the lab in hopes of getting the kind of results that got Luis Severino and Sean Manaea's careers back on track in 2024,"
Edward Cabrera, a 27-year-old right-handed starter, is being traded from the Miami Marlins to the Chicago Cubs. He posted a 3.53 ERA, 1.220 WHIP and 150 strikeouts in 137.2 innings in 2025, setting career highs in strikeouts and innings. Cabrera features a 97-mph average fastball, a 30.3% chase rate, 25.8% strikeout rate, 47.5% groundball rate (74th percentile) and a 29.4% whiff rate (78th). Injuries, particularly to his elbow and shoulder, have limited his availability. He is owed about $3.75 million in 2025 and remains under team control through 2028.
