Overview
- Industry reporting Monday says rival executives expect Miami to shop Alcántara by the July 31 trade deadline, the league’s midseason cutoff for deals.
- Alcántara is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA through two starts, striking out 16 in 12 2/3 innings and finishing one outing with a three-hit complete-game shutout.
- The Marlins opened 6-3 and lead the NL East by a half-game, and analysts note his availability likely depends on whether that pace holds into midsummer.
- His contract runs through 2026 with a $21 million team option or a $2 million buyout for 2027, which lets Miami keep him or pick up the option and trade him later, a path seen with Freddy Peralta.
- The Dodgers are named as a potential bidder, and a Sports Illustrated mock trade outlines a prospect-heavy offer led by top outfield prospect Josue De Paula.
