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.
