The Chicago Cubs have only two days remaining to address their biggest weakness.

In comparison to the other National League contenders, the Cubs have a shaky starting rotation. Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga are the only two current pitchers Chicago should feel confident starting in a playoff game, and even those two have been roughed up recently.

That’s why it makes sense for the Cubs to pursue impact starters, especially if they are under team control beyond the current season. There are some intriguing prospects approaching the rotation, but they shouldn’t be counted on to pick up the slack alone in future years.

Edward Cabrera of the Miami Marlins could be the perfect fit, as he’s under contract through the 2028 season. And one baseball insider thinks the Cubs will make that fit come to fruition.

On Tuesday, Jim Bowden of The Athletic included Cabrera to the Cubs as one of his “bold predictions.”

“The Cubs have been focused on the top of the starting pitching market, including MacKenzie Gore, Sandy Alcantara, Edward Cabrera, Mitch Keller, Merrill Kelly and Zac Gallen,” wrote Bowden earlier in the piece.

The 27-year-old Cabrera has unique stuff: a change-up that can top out at 96 miles per hour and 98th percentile breaking ball run value. He’s now got a 3.35 ERA in 18 starts this season, tracking for his best year yet in the majors.

One thing to keep an eye on, though, is that Cabrera has never exceeded 100 innings in a major league season, due at times to injuries and at others to inconsistency.

He’s currently at 94 innings, so the talented righty will soon be in uncharted territory.
