Cubs Still Actively Involved with Bregman, Bichette After Cabrera Trade Left Room in Budget

The Cubs trading for Edward Cabrera was the big news on Wednesday. Several teams have tried to trade for the right-hander over the last year, but the Marlins have maintained an unreasonable asking price. Heading into the 2025 trade deadline, the Marlins asked the Cubs for two top-100 prospects and more. No one met those demands, so Cabrera stayed with the Marlins to finish out the 2025 season.

With the righty suffering a UCL strain that led to his 11th IL stint late last season, leading to questions about whether anyone would okay his medicals, the Marlins had to reduce their ask.
