Latest news and updates about the Marlins
It’s been 97 days since the Yankees were eliminated in Game 4 of the ALDS by the eventual pennant-winning Toronto Blue Jays. While the Yankees have done some minor housekeeping in the offseason, they have yet to add an external player who isn’t a waiver claim, on a minor-league deal, or dealing with Rule 5 […]
The San Diego Padres acquired right-handed pitcher Bryan Hoeing, along with Tanner Scott, in a trade with the Miami Marlins on July 30, 2024 as part of the trade deadline acquisitions that would help the Padres push toward the postseason. Hoeing, 29, was drafted by Miami in 2019 and made his MLB debut in the […]
The Atlanta Braves announced a couple of moves on Friday, first claiming right-hander George Soriano off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles. Then, the club announced that infielder Brett Wisely had been designated for assignment. Though claimed from the Orioles, Soriano has only appeared in games for the Miami Marlins, where he logged 72 career games, […]
The Cubs were looking to bolster their starting rotation heading into next season, and they did so Wednesday, sending Owen Caissie, Cristian Hernandez and Edgardo De Leon to the Miami Marlins for a tantalizing starting pitcher: Edward Cabrera. Al covered the specifics yesterday, including the fun trade tree note that Cabrera basically closes out the […]
The offseason is well underway at this point, and there have been two trades so far that have caused me to scratch my head a bit. Both have involved Front Offices that, in terms of pedigree and past experience, seem to know what they’re doing — so I’m shrugging a bit in addition to the […]
Yesterday, we saw a big name starting pitcher get traded by an NL East team, but it was not MacKenzie Gore. Instead, the Marlins decided to trade Edward Cabrera to the Cubs for a prospect package headlined by outfielder Owen Caissie. This takes another potential Gore suitor out of contention, while also setting the market […]
The New York Yankees could be in some trouble when the 2026 season rolls around. After the Chicago Cubs acquired 27-year-old Miami Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera in a trade for top outfield prospect Owen Caissie, infielder Christian Hernandez and third baseman Edgardo De Leon, another rotation option was promptly taken off the market. And while […]
Let this serve as a scheduled reminder that Gabe Kapler is the general manager of the Miami Marlins. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
On Wednesday morning, the Chicago Cubs began finalizing a long-rumored trade for Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera. And in its wake, a smattering of high fives erupted across the greater Chicagoland area. The Cubs have finally landed their high-ceiling, hard-throwing, right-handed arm for the front of their rotation. But while that deal satisfied one roster need for the Cubs in the rotation, it potentially opened up another in the outfield. And that, in turn, could lead the Cubs bac...
We’ve been discussing the Cubs’ reported acquisition of Edward Cabrera all day, and now the deal is done, as he must have passed the team’s medical examination. Here’s the return for Cabrera: Owen Caissie was the last guy still in the Cubs organization from the trade of Yu Darvish to the Padres, which happened just […]
Holy smokes. The Chicago Cubs are finally landing their controllable starting pitcher in a trade. After months – years? – of rumors, it’s happening. From Bleacher Nation’s own Michael Cerami: BREAKING: Cubs are finalizing a deal to acquire SP Edward Cabrera from the Miami Marlins. — Michael Cerami (@Michael_Cerami) January 7, 2026 We’re still working on the particulars of the trade, but it’ll be out soon.

Today, it has happened, per this report (Bluesky link): We do not yet know the return to the Marlins for Cabrera and the Cubs have not officially announced anything. Cabrera turns 28 in April and […]
Here are your links for today: Devils Links You run out of words to describe how horrendous a team can play. On Tuesday night, the Islanders took a 9-0 win over the Devils, and you have to think people are getting fired after this one. [Devils NHL] Things gotta change: Nico news: “While every game […]
While perusing some Baseball-Reference leaderboards this morning (as one does), I noticed a funny dichotomy in the Cubs’ per-game attendance figures from 2025. In the span of about five weeks early in the season, the Cubs played one game in front of 53,933 fans at Dodger Stadium and another game in front of just 7,482 fans at loanDepot Park, where the Marlins play. The former was one of only three Cubs games played in front of 50K+ fans this season (all against the Dodgers in LA). The lat...

Alfaro is a nine-year veteran with the Phillies, Marlins, Padres, Rockies, Red Sox, and Nationals. In 510 career games, he has hit .253/.301/.391. Last year he appeared in 14 games with the Nationals and went […]
The Twins started 2026 with a pair of moves, trading for Marlins first baseman Eric Wagaman and signing infielder Orlando Arcia. Neither is (hopefully) likely to play a significant role for the Twins in 2026, but will serve as veteran bench bats for a team that hopes to usher in a youth movement. The Past […]
What has seemed like a formality for a while is now official. Don Mattingly will be the bench coach for the Phillies in 2026. It’s a good hire for the team. Mattingly has had success as a bench coach with Toronto, as well as success as a major league manager for the Marlins and Dodgers. […]
It took until the New Year, but we finally have our first real smoke emanating from the previously dormant Yankees hot stove. On Sunday, multiple outlets reported that the Yankees and Marlins were engaged in serious talks surrounding starting pitcher Edward Cabrera. It’s far from the first time that the Yankees have had rumored interest […]
New York Post | Mark Suleymanov: Most of the day Sunday was spent with increasing amounts of smoke swirling out of the Yankees’ and Marlins’ media beats, as a potential trade for right-hander Edward Cabrera appeared to be under consideration. Cabrera will turn 28 in April 2026, with three more years of team control, and […]
The kids have another week left of their break for the holidays, and I am definitely not counting those days down like it’s a posting window for a Japanese star … I appreciated reading an actual human translation of Tatsuya Imai’s comments about the posting process, which we discussed yesterday , and which concludes this Friday, January 2 at the latest. The automated translations weren’t TOO far off (close enough to get the right sense of where things stand), but this is better: ...
The Dodgers have dealt outfielder Esteury Ruiz to the Miami Marlins in exchange for minor league pitcher Adriano Marrero. Francys Romero of Beisbolfr.com was the first to report the trade.
