Overview

  • The Miami Marlins have declared that Sandy Alcántara is not available for trade, emphasizing his importance to their long-term plans during their rebuilding phase.
  • The New York Mets, dealing with injuries to key pitchers, are reportedly willing to part with a package of four top prospects to acquire Alcántara.
  • Alcántara, a former Cy Young winner, has shown promising form early this season, with a 3.91 ERA and velocity returning to the high 90s after Tommy John surgery.
  • The Mets' pursuit has been publicly endorsed by star players like Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor, who see Alcántara as a transformative addition to their rotation.
  • The Marlins view Alcántara's team-friendly contract, which runs through 2026 with a 2027 option, as a critical asset, making them reluctant to sell despite ongoing trade speculation.
