The Cubs and Marlins are nearing an agreement on a trade sending righty Edward Cabrera from Miami to Chicago, as first reported by Bleacher Nation’s Michael Cerami. While no agreement is firmly in place yet, ESPN’s Jesse Rogers reports that it’ll be a package headlined by position-player prospects if completed. None of Chicago’s top young arms will be included in the deal. Kevin Barral of Fish On First reports that top outfield prospect Owen Caissie has been a target of the Marlins in the past and is part of the package being discussed.
More to come.
