Cubs Making Inquiries on Sandy Alcantara, Edward Cabrera
The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal writes that the Chicago Cubs are already canvassing the starting pitching market and have made inquiries on Miami Marlins right-handers Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera, among many others, according to sources briefed on their plans. Alcantara is owed the balance of his $17 million salary this year and $17 million in 2026 with a $21 million club option for 2027. Cabrera is earning only $1.95 million with three more years of salary arbitration remaining. He'd be the better financial fit, but Alcantara has the much higher ceiling and is looking more like his pre-injury self after missing all of 2024 after having Tommy John surgery. The Cubs are also reportedly considering Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller, while Arizona's Zac Gallen and Baltimore's Zach Eflin could become available this summer as the July 31 trade deadline nears.
