Overview

  • Sandy Alcántara’s ERA surged to 7.14 this season and climbed to 8.61 over his last four starts since the All-Star break.
  • Interest from title contenders such as the Dodgers, Red Sox, Cubs and Giants has waned amid his late-season slump.
  • The Marlins, prioritizing their rebuild, intend to retain Alcántara until the winter to maximize their leverage in any deal.
  • Recovering from Tommy John surgery, Alcántara is reworking his mechanics and emphasizing rest to try to regain his Cy Young form.
