After he struggled to throw strikes through his first three-plus seasons, he\u2019s amidst a breakout year. That makes him a potential fit for virtually every team that is evaluating the rotation market.<\/p>\n<p>Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported in June that Cabrera was among a number of starting pitchers on the Cubs\u2019 radar. Francys Romero adds the Mets as another club that has shown interest. It stands to reason the Marlins have heard from most win-now teams on both Cabrera and former Cy Young winner\u00a0<strong>Sandy Alcantara<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old Cabrera has a 3.33 earned run average in 15 appearances. That\u2019s weighed down by a pair of five-run clunkers in April. He has been downright excellent over his past 11 starts. He owns a 2.11 ERA while striking out more than a quarter of opposing hitters in that time. Cabrera has gotten grounders on nearly half the batted balls against him while keeping his walks to a decent 8% clip. It\u2019s by far the best stretch of his big league career \u2014 both in terms of throwing strikes and keeping runs off the board.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s danger in carving up samples that small. Cabrera had a career 4.49 ERA and 13.2% walk rate before this 11-start run. Still, he\u2019s now at two and a half months of top-of-the-rotation production. The Marlins had limited him to around five innings for most of that stretch. They\u2019ve shown more trust in his ability to work deep into games over his past two appearances. Cabrera worked seven innings in each, allowing a combined two runs with 11 strikeouts and one walk against the Twins and Brewers, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>While Cabrera hasn\u2019t shown this level before, this isn\u2019t entirely out of nowhere. The 6\u20194\u2033 hurler was a staple on top prospect lists. Evaluators credited him with at least mid-rotation caliber stuff. He has a five-pitch mix and averages north of 96 MPH with both his sinker and four-seam fastball. His curveball and slider are missing bats. It has long been easy to dream on the upside. The question has been whether the command would ever progress to even league average. While it has taken a little longer than the Marlins might\u2019ve hoped, that now seems to be falling into place.<\/p>\n<p>Miami doesn\u2019t need to make Cabrera available. He entered this season with a little under three years of service time. He\u2019s playing on a $1.95MM salary in his first of four arbitration years as a Super Two player. The money isn\u2019t an issue even by Marlins standards. He\u2019s under club control through 2028. Even with the widespread expectation that they\u2019ll deal Alcantara, the Fish could hold Cabrera to form a 1-2 punch at the top of the rotation with <strong>Eury P\u00e9rez<\/strong>. They\u2019ve played well of late, and while it\u2019s highly unlikely to make them a legitimate Wild Card contender this season, it could signify that they\u2019re not too far from being competitive.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019d nevertheless be a surprise if they closed the door on offers completely. President of baseball operations Peter Bendix has embarked on a complete teardown and rebuild. The front office may have some trepidation about Cabrera\u2019s old command woes returning. Even if they fully buy into his current form, they\u2019re aware of the injury risk for any pitcher \u2014 particularly one who throws as hard as Cabrera does. The Marlins have seen <strong>Max Meyer<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Ryan Weathers<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Braxton Garrett<\/strong> battle various injuries. P\u00e9rez and Alcantara required Tommy John surgeries; Alcantara hasn\u2019t come back from the surgery nearly as dominant as he had been. Cabrera himself missed time in both 2023 and \u201924 with shoulder impingements.<\/p>\n<p>The Marlins would demand a significant trade return. Cabrera has surpassed Alcantara as the team\u2019s top realistic trade chip. Few other pitchers on non-contenders have the same ceiling. The affordability and team control window would appeal both to all-in teams and to those that feel their competitive window is just opening. It stands to reason the Fish would add even more of a premium in talks with other NL East teams.<\/p>\n<p>New York will welcome\u00a0<strong>Kodai Senga<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Sean Manaea<\/strong> back from the injured list this weekend. They\u2019ll have a starting five of Manaea, Senga, <strong>David Peterson<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Clay Holmes<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Frankie Montas<\/strong> for the first time all year. Injuries to\u00a0<strong>Griffin Canning<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Tylor Megill<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Paul Blackburn<\/strong> have tested the depth. The Mets figure to add at least one starter in addition to potential bullpen and center field pursuits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could the Mets turn to a division rival for an impact addition to their starting five?
