The San Francisco Giants have already made a few notable moves this offseason to bolster their starting rotation, bringing in right-handers Adrian Houser and Tyler Mahle. But it looks like they might not be done yet.

According to reports, the Giants are showing interest in Miami Marlins righty Edward Cabrera – a young, high-upside arm who just put together the most complete season of his big-league career.

Cabrera went 8-7 last year with a 3.53 ERA across 26 starts, logging 137 2/3 innings and striking out 150. That workload marked a personal milestone – the first time he’s topped 100 innings in a season – and it came with a level of consistency and durability that teams around the league have been waiting to see from him.

What makes Cabrera especially intriguing isn’t just the results, but how he gets them. He works with a five-pitch mix that includes three distinct breaking balls, giving him the kind of arsenal that keeps hitters guessing and off balance.

His fastball velocity sits in the 87th percentile, per Baseball Savant, and when you combine that heat with his off-speed stuff – which ranked in the 94th percentile in run value – you start to see why he’s drawing attention. He’s not just overpowering; he’s deceptive, and he’s learning how to use his tools to get outs in a variety of ways.

For the Giants, adding Cabrera would be less about plugging a hole and more about building long-term depth. Their current rotation, on paper, looks solid: Logan Webb anchors the staff, with Robbie Ray, Mahle, Houser, and Landen Roupp rounding it out.

But there are reasons to keep looking ahead. Both Ray and Mahle are set to hit free agency next offseason, and while Houser is a dependable innings-eater, he’s not necessarily a long-term fixture.

Cabrera, on the other hand, would be under team control through the 2028 season, giving San Francisco a potential mid-rotation starter with upside – and cost certainty – for years to come. That kind of control is gold in today’s game, especially for a team trying to thread the needle between competing now and building for the future.

It’s not yet clear how serious the Giants are about pursuing a deal, or what the Marlins would want in return. But if they can land Cabrera, San Francisco would be adding a young arm who’s starting to figure it out – and whose best baseball may still be ahead of him.
