Cubs commit $13 million to trio of arbitration eligible pitchers
The Chicago Cubs recently committed $13 million across three different pitchers, all of whom were arbitration eligible.

For reference, Steele earned $6.55 million a season ago, Cabrera, who was just recently acquired via trade, $1.95 million with the Miami Marlins, and Assad under $1.0 million as this off-season is his first time being arbitration eligible. Cabrera’s salary as he moves through two more additional seasons of arbitration will be worth monitoring. If he performs well this year, another big pay jump could be in store.
All three pitchers are expected to play important roles in 2026. Steele is continuing his rehab from elbow surgery, but when healthy, he is a true top-of-the-rotation arm. Cabrera also brings considerable upside and is coming off an impressive season in which he posted a 3.53 ERA. Meanwhile, Assad has consistently delivered strong results when called upon, making him a dependable option in the Cubs’ pitching mix.
