I know Cabrera has been a target of many people here, the latest news:
According to Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pirates are in active trade talks with the Marlins to acquire right-hander Edward Cabrera.
Mackey confirms that the Pirates remain in active discussions to acquire a starter both via trade and free agency, but talks with the Marlins appear to have gained steam, and Cabrera is the pitcher they are most willing to part with. While the 25-year-old has plus raw stuff and has pitched to a 4.01 ERA with 221 strikeouts in 197 2/3 innings (41 starts), he also has some major problems with control. In his brief career, he averages 5.4 batters walked per nine innings, which has some people believing he fits best as a reliever. If the Pirates were to acquire him, they would certainly slot him into the rotation, but their previous inability to develop starters like Tyler Glasnow, Joe Musgrove, and Gerrit Cole makes it questionable that they would be able to fix Cabrera’s command issues. Additionally, if the trade were to happen, it would seemingly give A.J. Puk the inside track to make the Marlins rotation.
