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.
