Edward Cabrera has been traded to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Owen Caissie (Cubs #1 prospect, #47 overall prospect), Cristian Hernandez (Cubs #11 prospect), and Edgardo DeLeon. The deal is official and all physicals have been passed. (Source: Bob Nightengale on X)
Fantasy Impact: Cabrera heads to Chicago where he will serve as a top-of-the-rotation arm for the Cubs. The righthander enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2025 by pitching a career-high 137.2 with a strong 3.53 ERA for the Marlins. He also had a career-low 8.3% walk rate and posted a strikeout rate of 25.8%. Cabrera's sinker allowed him to post a 46.6% ground ball rate a season ago. The Cubs are certainly paying a steep price to get Cabrera, who has had injury history and has only pitched more than 100 innings in a season once. But, the righthander still has three years of control left on his contract and he now joins a formidable rotation that also includes Cade Horton, Matthew Boyd, Shota Imanaga, and Jameson Taillon.

Eric Wagaman, who was designated for assignment last week by the Marlins, has been shipped to the Minnesota Twins. Double-A lefthander Kade Bragg heads back to the Marlins in the deal. To make room for Wagaman on the 40-man roster, the Twins designated infielder Ryan Fitzgerald for assignment. (Source: Dan Hayes on X)
Fantasy Impact: Wagaman, who played both corner infield positions as well as both corner outfield spots last season, appeared in 140 games for the Marlins in 2025. He batted .250 with nine home runs and 53 RBI in 514 plate appearances. Wagaman also played 17 games for the Angels in 2024. Given his ability to play multiple positions, Wagaman should, at the very least, carve out a depth role with the Twins.
