Blue Jays consider Sandy Alcantara as potential trade target amid struggles

The Toronto Blue Jays are contemplating a trade for Miami Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara as they seek to strengthen their rotation amid injury issues. Alcantara, previously seen as a valuable target, has struggled recently, accumulating a 5.68 ERA with 41 earned runs given up over his last 11 starts. His inconsistency has raised concerns about whether acquiring him would be a mistake for the Blue Jays as they aim for a playoff spot. Analyst Edward Eng cautioned against pursuing Alcantara due to his recent performances, citing the risk of disappointment for Toronto fans.
