Edward Cabrera Is Equally Exciting as He is Risky for the Cubs

All right, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Edward Cabrera will be 28-years-old in April, he’s only ever thrown more than 100 innings in an MLB season once and last September the right-handed pitcher was placed on the injured list for the 11th time in his career. In other words, there are major durability questions coming with the newest starting pitcher for the Cubs.

It is something that I have pushed aside when first evaluating the trade. Getting Cabrera is still a good move by the Cubs, but it’s not perfect either.
