Cubs targeting Edward Cabrera but one problem could ruin the deal
San Diego Padres v Miami Marlins | Megan Briggs/GettyImagesReading between the lines, it feels like Edward Cabrera is the starting pitcher the Chicago Cubs want ahead of the MLB trade deadline, assuming they aren't able to pry MacKenzie Gore away from the Washington Nationals.

The latest from Matthew Trueblood of North Side Baseball is that the Marlins are seeking a package from the Cubs that includes Owen Caissie and Jaxon Wiggins.
