Instead, the Marlins decided to trade Edward Cabrera to the Cubs for a prospect package headlined by outfielder Owen Caissie. This takes another potential Gore suitor out of contention, while also setting the market for the left hander. Like Shane Baz, who was traded a couple weeks ago, Cabrera’s trade value is comparable to Gore’s.
