Episode Notes

The Chicago Cubs may be exploring creative trade options to upgrade their starting rotation — and one name continues to stand out: Edward Cabrera.

In this episode, we break down how the Cubs could realistically trade for Miami Marlins starter Edward Cabrera, a controllable, power-armed pitcher with front-of-the-rotation upside. With the Orioles pivoting after trading for Shane Boz, does this open the door for Chicago to strike?

We dive deep into Cabrera’s MLB stats, pitch profile, contract control, and what it would take to get a deal done. Could the Cubs put together a package centered around Jordan Wicks and Ben Brown? Is Cabrera worth the cost, or would the Cubs be giving up too much pitching depth?

This episode covers:
⚾ Edward Cabrera trade rumors
⚾ Cubs rotation needs and urgency
⚾ Breakdown of a Wicks + Ben Brown trade proposal
⚾ Why Miami may (or may not) deal Cabrera
⚾ Risk vs reward for the Cubs
⚾ What this move means for the Cubs’ playoff chances
