MLB teams expected to pursue Sandy Alcantara in winter trade talks

The Miami Marlins face renewed interest from other clubs regarding Sandy Alcantara as the upcoming offseason approaches. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that teams are expected to pursue the right-handed pitcher, whose performance has stabilized following a difficult 2025 season. Alcantara currently holds a 3.46 ERA across 29 starts in 2026, recording 140 strikeouts over 189.2 innings. While Miami previously held onto the former Cy Young winner through the trade deadline, his status under team control through the 2027 season makes him a prime candidate for a potential move. The organization may weigh the option of securing a trade return against the possibility of a long-term contract extension. If no deal is reached, the club risks losing the pitcher for nothing at the conclusion of his current contract.
