Edward Cabrera’s new Chicago Cubs teammates know they are getting a pitcher with high upside and a chance to be a difference-maker in the rotation.

With three years of control left at arbitration rates, the acquisition of Cabrera gives the Cubs some breathing room.

Coming to Chicago, Bregman has changed his jersey number. He had been wearing No. 2 his entire career, but is switching to No. 3. As Marquee Sports Network shared, the reason Bregman made this change will fire up Cubs fans.

The 2026 Cubs Convention will be held January 16-18, 2026, at the Sheraton Grand Chicago, located at 301 E. North Water St. in Chicago. Where can I find the Cubs Con schedule?

Edward Cabrera is still relevant — most of Friday’s news was about the trade, and we have reactions from plenty of ‘insiders,’ plus whatever else we could find. Ian Happ talks about how major-leaguers prepare for Spring Training, there’s a bullpen with Jordan Wicks, and we have some other goodies, too.
