Is the Edward Cabrera trade a win for the Cubs? We break down three reasons to love the move and two reasons it could backfire.
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs have acquired a front-end starting pitcher. The team swung a trade for Miami Marlins righty Edward Cabrera, a power arm with a very high ceiling and some of the nastiest stuff in the league.
My first impression is that this is a very favorable trade for the Cubs, who have arguably needed to acquire another topline starter since before last season began.
