The New York Yankees are in trade discussions with the Miami Marlins for starting pitcher Edward Cabrera as they look to address uncertainty in their rotation, league sources told The Athletic. No deal was close as of Sunday morning.

Cabrera, 27, is under team control through the 2028 season and is projected to earn $3.7 million in arbitration this year, according to MLB Trade Rumors. The right-hander posted a 3.53 ERA in a career-high 137 2/3 innings last season.

The Yankees need rotation help with Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón and Clarke Schmidt all unavailable to begin the season as they recover from elbow surgeries. New York has also continued discussions with Milwaukee about starter Freddy Peralta, who is making $8 million in his final year before free agency.

Cabrera made two appearances on the injured list in 2025, first with a right middle finger blister and then in September with a sprained right elbow. He also landed on the IL twice in the first half of 2024 with a right shoulder impingement.

The potential deal would mark the latest transaction between frequent trade partners. The Yankees have completed two trades with Miami in the past two years, acquiring infielders Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jon Berti. The teams have also previously discussed Sandy Alcantara's availability.

Marlins director of player development Rachel Balkovec spent four years with the Yankees organization, including managing their Low-A affiliate Tampa Tarpons. Her familiarity with New York's minor league system could facilitate trade negotiations between the clubs.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said at last month's Winter Meetings that he would "love" to add another starting pitcher before the season. The team's interest in Cabrera signals New York is trying to accelerate its offseason after a dormant start.
