To say that the beginning of the offseason has been quiet is an understatement. President of baseball operations Peter Bendix has reportedly been fielding calls on his starting pitchers in terms of potential trades.
The two most often brought up names are Edward Cabrera and Sandy Alcantara. Ryan Weathers has reportedly been drawing interest as well. Cabrera and Alcantara are the two names most frequently mentioned. Miami has not decided one way or another as to whether they will trade one.
If they do, they could get a good return from most clubs. Cabrera and Alcantara are both top-of-the-rotation starters that could solidify a contender’s rotation for 2026 and beyond. Brian Murphy of MLB.com listed the pros and cons of the top 7 pitchers who could be traded. Cabrera ended up on the list, and his pros that Murphy listed could end up scaring some teams off.
Edward Cabrera Cons Could Scare Away Teams in Trade
Cabrera had a really good 2025 season and certainly raised his trade value. He went 8-7 with a 3.53 ERA in a career-high 137.2 innings with 150 strikeouts and just 48 walks. He had a 2.8 WAR, and Murphy believes interested teams need to figure out if 2025 was a season that is a sign of things to come or not.
