Jul 23, 2025; Miami, Florida, USA; Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (22) looks on against the San Diego Padres during the first inning at loanDepot Park.

Overview

  • In his July 29 start against the Cardinals, Alcantara scattered three hits and struck out four over five shutout innings, extending his recent scoreless streak to 14 frames.
  • With under 48 hours before the July 31 deadline, the Dodgers have proposed sending Dustin May and Esteury Ruiz to Miami and the Yankees have floated prospect packages for Alcantara.
  • Alcantara’s 2022 Cy Young pedigree and contract control through 2026 with a 2027 option have sustained strong trade interest despite his 6.66 ERA this season.
  • The Marlins traded catcher Nick Fortes to the Rays for prospect Matthew Etzel on July 28, and they are deferring a decision on Alcantara until after his next outing.
  • Edward Cabrera has emerged as a more coveted Marlins asset, posting a 2.11 ERA since late May and holding control through 2028, leading some clubs to prioritize him over Alcantara.
