Marlins Acquire Owen Caissie, Eyeing Primary Right Field Role for 2026 Season

Outfielder Owen Caissie, 23, has been acquired by the Miami Marlins from the Cubs in the Edward Cabrera trade, alongside prospects Cristian Hernandez and Edgardo De Leon. Caissie, who made his MLB debut in 2025, is expected to be the Marlins' primary right fielder for the 2026 season. He slashed .281/.380/.507 with 41 home runs at Triple-A Iowa over the past two seasons, demonstrating premium left-handed power and strong on-base skills. Despite a brief, struggling 2025 MLB stint and a 28-29.1% minor league strikeout rate, his power is anticipated to translate, making him an immediate impact bat for Miami.
