The Chicago Cubs have the starting rotation help they’ve long coveted.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan cited sources in reporting Wednesday that the Cubs have acquired right-hander Edward Cabrera from the Miami Marlins for three hitting prospects, including top-ranked Owen Caissie, who made his major league debut for Chicago last season.

FanDuel Sports Network Florida’s Craig Mish identified minor-league infielders Cristian Hernández and Edgardo De Leon as the other two players in the deal, and the Cubs later confirmed the trade.

Bleacher Nation’s Michael Cerami first reported that a Cabrera trade was being finalized earlier Wednesday.

Alex Cohen and Lance Brozdowski react to Chicago’s reported Cabrera addition in an emergency Cubs Weekly Podcast. Lance shares his scouting report on the 27-year-old righty, and the guys dissect how Cabrera’s addition will impact the Cubs’ rotation, plus other moves the team could make this offseason.

Marquee Sports Network also will air a special edition of “Cubs 360” at 4:30 p.m. Friday to break down every aspect of the deal.
