MLB rumors: Marlins’ star prospect acquired in Edward Cabrera Cubs trade may make Opening Day roster

The Chicago Cubs acquired right-handed starting pitcher Edward Cabrera from the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. Miami acquired three total prospects in return, including a star outfield prospect in Owen Caissie. According to Isaac Azout of Fish On First, Caissie may find himself on the Marlins’ Opening Day roster.

“OF Owen Caissie immediately slots in as the No. 4 prospect in Miami’s system behind White, Mack and Snelling. He is expected to have a very strong chance to crack the Marlins’ Opening Day roster, per source,” Azout wrote on X, formerly Twitter, following the trade.

Cabrera has an opportunity to make a significant impact with Chicago. He is a quality starter — although he’s only pitched more than 100 innings in a single season once in his career. Nevertheless, he will be missed in Miami.

However, the trade return for the Marlins seems encouraging. While the other two prospects in the deal have yet to be revealed, Caissie is one of the better young outfielders in the sport.
