Edward Cabrera Joins Cubs’ Pitching Rotation
Edward Cabrera, a powerful right-handed pitcher, is expected to bolster the Cubs’ rotation. This lineup currently includes veterans Matthew Boyd, Jameson Taillon, and Shota Imanaga. Cubs’ President of Baseball Operations, Jed Hoyer, mentioned last month that the team was “on the market” for pitching enhancements, both for the rotation and the bullpen.
Career Highlights of Edward Cabrera
- Best season in 2025: 8 wins, 7 losses
- Earned run average: 3.53
- Struck out a career-high: 150 batters
- Innings pitched: 137⅔
Cabrera will celebrate his 28th birthday in April and is under contract for three additional seasons. He will become a free agent following the 2028 season. However, it is important to note that Cabrera has faced injury challenges throughout his career, participating in only 89 games over five seasons with the Marlins.
This trade marks a significant move for the Cubs as they look to strengthen their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
