Carmen Mandato \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>With uncertainty surrounding their starting rotation to begin the season, the New York Yankees are talking to the Miami Marlins about a potential trade for starting pitcher Edward Cabrera, league sources told The Athletic.<\/p>\n<p>Cabrera, 27, is under team control through the 2028 season and is projected to earn $3.7 million in arbitration this year, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlbtraderumors.com\/2025\/10\/projected-arbitration-salaries-for-2026.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">MLB Trade Rumors<\/a>. As of Sunday morning, no deal was close.<\/p>\n<p>With discussions around the game picking up with the start of the new year, the Yankees have continued talking to numerous teams and agents, signaling their desire to add at least one more starting pitcher to the mix. They have also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6880122\/2025\/12\/10\/freddy-peralta-brewers-yankees-red-sox\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">continued to discuss<\/a> Milwaukee Brewers starter Freddy Peralta, who is making $8 million in his final year before free agency.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees need to add another starting pitcher with their depth in peril, as Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rod\u00f3n and Clarke Schmidt will all be unavailable to begin the season as they continue their recoveries from elbow surgeries.<\/p>\n<p>Cabrera had a 3.53 ERA in a career-high 137 2\/3 innings last season but made two appearances on the injured list, first at the start of the season with a right middle finger blister, then in September with a sprained right elbow. He was also on the injured list twice in the first half of 2024 with a right shoulder impingement.<\/p>\n<p>If a deal were to materialize between the two clubs, it would be the latest between the Yankees and their most active trade partner in recent years. The Yankees have executed two trades in the past two years with the Marlins, adding infielders Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jon Berti. They\u2019ve also previously discussed Sandy Alcantara\u2019s availability. Marlins director of player development Rachel Balkovec knows the Yankees\u2019 minor-league system well after spending four years with the organization, including managing the club\u2019s Low-A affiliate, the Tampa Tarpons.<\/p>\n<p>Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told reporters at last month\u2019s Winter Meetings that he would \u201clove\u201d to add another starting pitcher before the start of the season. The team\u2019s latest interest in Cabrera would indicate that the Yankees are trying to accelerate their offseason after what\u2019s been a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6923583\/2025\/12\/29\/yankees-offseason-american-league-east\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dormant start<\/a> for the American League contender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Edward Cabrera had a 3.53 ERA and 150 strikeouts over 137 2\/3 innings in 2025.
