3 Miami Marlins players that are facing an uncertain future

1. SP EDWARD CABRERA

From Max Meyer to Edward Cabrera, the Miami Marlins have a great starting pitching mix for next season. Will Cabrera be in the rotation to start next season? Highly doubtful. Sandy Alcantara, Eury Perez, Jesus Luzardo and Ryan Weathers are locks for the top four rotation spots. Braxton Garrett is the favorite for the fifth spot.

A setback to Eury Perez in his recovery from injury, or the same happening to Luzardo, can open up a spot for Cabrera. That said, he's been incredibly inconsistent throughout his young career. He has a career 4.26 ERA/4.80 FIP, with 10.0 K/9 and 5.2 BB/9. He had that tremendous run in 2022, when he had a 3.01 ERA, though with a 4.59 FIP in 14 games and 71.2 innings pitched that season.

He also has a 4.88 ERA/4.86 FIP, with 9.8 K/9 and 4.7 BB/9 in 17 games and 83.0 innings pitched this season. Cabrera's big issue is his control issues. He goes from horrible performances to ace ones, as we saw last weekend. He's so unpredictable that it's frustrating. He's still just 26 years old and is under arbitration control through the 2028 season. How long will it take before the Miami Marlins get tired of waiting for him to get things under control? Next season may be his final chance.
