"Are the Miami Marlins getting ready to move Edward Cabrera? In the immortal words of Adele, rumor has it. Or if you prefer getting your insights from a Magic 8-ball, signs point to yes. Anyway you slice it, the odds are really starting to look long that Cabrera is still a member of the Miami Marlins come Opening Day 2026."
"Why? For starters, he's a luxury. While he flashed plenty of talent last season, he's the No. 3 starter for a team with two MLB Top 100 pitching prospects that could force their way into the majors this season. As of this moment, if you generously allow for the possibility of Jose Fernandez-esque spring from Thomas White, the Marlins have nine candidates that pretty much every team in baseball save for the Dodgers would feel good about taking up an Opening Day rotation spot."
Edward Cabrera's status with the Miami Marlins appears tenuous heading into Opening Day 2026 due to the club's deep starting pitching and urgent offensive shortfalls. Cabrera led the majors in strikeouts in 2025 and delivered a breakout season despite a late injury, but he likely projects as a luxury No. 3 starter given two MLB Top 100 pitching prospects and several rotation candidates. Trading a starting pitcher is presented as the primary way to upgrade the offense or free payroll. Cabrera's improved performance restored trade value after prior inconsistency and injury concerns.
