Marlins’ Sandy Alcantara Generates Trade Buzz After Strong Spring Return
The former Cy Young winner is impressing post-surgery, with speculation mounting about a potential trade before the MLB season begins.
- Sandy Alcantara has delivered three scoreless outings in spring training, signaling a strong recovery from Tommy John surgery that sidelined him in 2024.
- The Miami Marlins, in the midst of a rebuilding phase, are reportedly open to trading Alcantara, who is under contract through 2026 with a club option for 2027.
- MLB insiders suggest the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox are leading candidates to pursue Alcantara, given their need for pitching depth and trade assets.
- Jon Morosi of MLB Network predicts Alcantara will likely be traded by the midseason deadline, though some believe a deal could happen before Opening Day.
- With a career ERA of 3.32 and a history of durability, Alcantara’s current form and affordable contract make him a highly sought-after trade target.
