Overview

  • The Boston Red Sox are reportedly considering a trade for Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcántara to address rotation gaps caused by injuries to Lucas Giolito and Brayan Bello.
  • A proposed trade package could include outfielder Wilyer Abreu and three top prospects, leveraging Boston's highly ranked farm system.
  • Alcántara, under contract through 2027, has returned to form in spring training after missing the 2024 season, posting 10 strikeouts over 12.1 scoreless innings.
  • Despite trade rumors, Marlins President of Baseball Operations Caroline O’Conner has publicly stated the team has no plans to trade Alcántara.
  • The Red Sox's offseason additions of Walker Buehler and Garrett Crochet reflect their aggressive push to contend, but early injuries have left the rotation in need of reinforcement.
