Bruce Levine

And I said this about Frank.

Let's be honest.

He's holding big-time resentments.

He's just waiting, it felt like.

And he was justified, but at the same time, it also felt like he was just waiting for a chance to jump on the White Sox again.

He is holding on to things that he needs to do his part as well, is all I'm saying.

That's understandable.

It really is.

Well, he's a young pitcher that's been with the Marlins for a while, and he's going into his first year of arbitration.

A big power arm that the Cubs tried to acquire over the last two years, including last July.

We believe Owen Casey will be a part of this deal because that's who they were asking for in the packages for Alcantara and for Cabrera when they were talking to the Marlins last July before the trading deadline.

So

We don't know how expanded this deal is, but Cabrera gives you another young, controllable power arm to go along with the young pitchers that they have with the Cubs right now, in particular with Cade Horton.

It's a very formidable 1-2 going into the 2026 season.

Well, they were asking for four young players.

Washington was asking for four players for Gore.

Florida was asking for four players for their two pitchers.

So they were trying to get people to pony up more because at that time, Marshall, it's teams that want to go into the playoffs and need that other arm.

In the offseason, it's more of an overview of what the other team really needs to do going forward, how much money they need to spend.

In this case, it's not an expensive player.
