Red Sox Weigh Potential Blockbuster Trade for Marlins Ace Sandy Alcántara

Boston's injuries to key starters fuel speculation of a trade for the Cy Young winner, though Miami reiterates no plans to move him.

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.
