Blue Jays predicted to acquire Sandy Alcantara from Marlins before trade deadline

The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to trade for Miami Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara, according to a prediction by Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report. Alcantara, a former Cy Young winner with a current ERA of 4.01, could bolster a Blue Jays rotation affected by injuries. With their starters including Kevin Gausman and Dylan Cease, the team seeks another dependable arm to alleviate pressure on current pitchers. Alcantara is under club control through 2027, providing the Blue Jays with additional leverage should they complete the deal. The upcoming MLB trade deadline will be a critical period for the Blue Jays, who finished just shy of last year’s championship.
