2026 Fantasy Outlook
Caissie was traded from the Cubs to the Marlins as the headliner for Edward Cabrera this offseason. It is a good transaction for Caissie's short-term fantasy value, as he goes from an uncertain role to start the year in Chicago to a likely strong-side platoon role in Miami on Opening Day. Caissie, a muscular lefty slugger from Ontario, slashed .286/.386/.551 with 22 home runs, five steals, a 13.2 percent walk rate and a 27.9 percent strikeout rate in 99 games at Triple-A. He was one of the most productive hitters at Triple-A in 2025, and he's either the youngest of the 10 best hitters at the level or second-youngest behind Samuel Basallo, depending on the plate appearance cut off. Caissie hit .192 with one home run and an 11:1 K:BB in 27 plate appearances in the majors, all of which came against right-handed pitchers. His 2026 fantasy upside is capped somewhat by the fact he'll likely sit against lefties and doesn't run much (five steals in all of 2025), but Caissie could be a productive slugger against righties if he wins the job.

The Marlins acquired Caissie, Cristian Hernandez and Edgardo De Leon from the Cubs on Wednesday in exchange for Edward Cabrera, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Caissie has nothing left to prove in the minors, having slashed .281/.380/.507 with 41 home runs at Triple-A Iowa over the last two seasons. The 23-year-old struggled in his cup of coffee with the Cubs in 2025 and has posted a 29.1 percent strikeout rate in the minors, but Caissie's power will play in the majors if he makes enough contact. He's the favorite to open the 2026 season as the Marlins' primary right fielder.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
One reason the Cubs were aggressively shopping Cody Bellinger this winter is that they believe Caissie is ready to see time in right field at the big-league level. Caissie's batting average figures to be his weakest fantasy stat, but he has the raw power to hit 30 homers in a season and the speed to steal 15 bases. He also has the patience to log solid on-base percentages if it all comes together. His exit velocity data from the past two years is more impressive than the 41 home runs he hit in 247 games. Caissie made contact at a 66.9 percent clip and struck out at a 28.4 percent clip at Triple-A, and the whiffs are part of the package. A left-handed hitter, Caissie could sit against southpaws initially in an effort to get him off on the right foot. Now that he's on the 40-man roster, Caissie could have a chance of winning a roster spot out of spring training, especially if the Cubs are able to move Bellinger.
One of the premier power hitters in the minors, particularly from an exit velocity standpoint, Caissie has never had a strikeout rate below 28.6 percent and has a 30 percent strikeout rate for his career. He took a small step forward with a 27.1 percent strikeout rate in the second half last year, which coincides with the pre-tacked balls being removed from the Southern League. Even so, strikeouts will inevitably be a big part of Caissie's game. Fortunately, he has always walked at an 11 percent clip or higher, so he has the requisite approach to be a three-true-outcomes right fielder. Caissie has a plus arm and runs well for a 6-foot-3 slugger. A left-handed hitter, Caissie had a .755 OPS and 32 percent strikeout rate against lefties in 2023 and a .690 OPS against lefties in 2022, so it's possible he will get a platoon partner. It's also not a given that he will make enough contact against righties in the majors to handle the strong side of a platoon.

Appears destined for Miami
OFChicago Cubs
January 7, 2026
The Marlins will acquire Caissie from the Cubs as part of the trade sending Edward Cabrera to Chicago, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Analysis
Caissie hit just .192 with a .568 OPS in 12 games in his first taste of big-league action in 2025, but the top prospect boasts a .281/.380/.507 batting line over the last two seasons at Triple-A Iowa. Assuming the trade is finalized, the 23-year-old Caissie should take over as the Marlins' regular right fielder in 2026.
