Marlins Ready to Trade Sandy Alcantara
USA Today Sports' Bob Nightengale reports that the Miami Marlins are "set to accept the best offer they receive" this winter on right-hander Sandy Alcantara, believing "now is the time" to trade him. Alcantara was on the trade block in 2025, too, but the Fish never got the offer they wanted for the former National League Cy Young winner. The 30-year-old Dominican hurler will earn $17.3 million in 2026 and has a $21 million club option for the 2027 campaign. Alcantara was shaky in his return from Tommy John surgery in the first half of 2025, but he had a second-half surge in Miami to finish with an 11-12 record, 5.36 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 142:57 K:BB in 174 2/3 innings over his 31 starts. He had eight quality starts in 13 starts since the All-Star break while also posting a 3.33 ERA with 71 K's and 20 walks over 83 2/3 innings. Even if Alcantara isn't traded before the start of the 2026 season, he showed enough in the second half to convince fantasy managers that he can be a fantasy ace for all of next season.
