Yankees Rumors: Oswaldo Cabrera 'Checked in on' for Trades by Several MLB Teams

The New York Yankees have added notable players such as Max Fried, Cody Bellinger, Devin Williams and Paul Goldschmidt this offseason, but teams are reportedly interested in whether they would be willing to give up one of their players in a trade.

Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reported Thursday that multiple teams "have checked in on" whether the Yankees would trade Oswaldo Cabrera this offseason.

"The 25-year-old is cheap, still a season away from salary arbitration eligibility, also plays the corner outfield spots, and won't be a free agent until after the 2028 season," Kuty wrote of the versatile player who is set to make $800,000 during the upcoming campaign.

Cabrera appeared in 108 games for the Yankees last season and slashed .247/.296/.365 with eight home runs, 36 RBI and four stolen bases.

He also played innings at first base, second base, third base, shortstop, left field and right field, underscoring his ability to fit into almost any lineup in the league with a formidable glove. Cabrera played the most innings at third base (566.1) and posted impressive plus-seven defensive runs saved above average at the hot corner, per FanGraphs.

While the offensive numbers don't jump off the page, his defense and potential stand out.

It wasn't long ago that MLB.com ranked him as the 14th-best prospect in the Yankees' system in 2022, and other teams are surely hoping he can fully tap into that potential with a change of scenery and perhaps more consistent playing time if New York trades him.
