Sandy Alcantara trade rumors are once again heating up as the MLB trade deadline nears. He remains one of the best inning-eaters in the MLB, making him an attractive target for many contenders. If the Miami Marlins finally decide to move on, these three teams should be involved in the trade discussions.
If the New York Yankees truly want to make a push for another World Series, they need to make some serious additions. Alcantara would be just that. It doesn’t need to be Tarik Skubal or another $300+ million guy; just add some stability to the rotation and a few offensive weapons.
The Atlanta Braves have had one of the most inconsistent rotations in baseball. Spencer Strider has not been what they expected from their one-time ace, and the injuries have been piling up for the rest of the rotation. Adding an innings-eater like Alcantara would give them the ability to rest some of their younger pitchers who may be struggling to hold down the fort. This would be one of the most beneficial moves a team could make as they look to make a run into October.
The Chicago Cubs have been looking for that frontline starter seemingly every year at the deadline. Alcantara would give them just that, on a decent contract with multiple years remaining. The Cubs have a strong farm system to be able to out-bid a majority of teams if this gets into a bidding war, giving them an advantage on trade talks.
Could the Marlins trade Sandy Alcantara?
It seems as if this has been a question every trade deadline for nearly the past five years. The quick answer: yes. This may be the last opportunity to maximize their potential return value.
Which team is most likely to trade for Sandy Alcantara?
The best fit for Alcantara would be the Braves; the team with the easiest path to a trade would be the Cubs.
When is the MLB trade deadline?
The MLB trade deadline is on August 3rd at 6pm EST.
Whether it is the Yankees, Cubs, or Braves, all three teams could find themselves connected to Alcantara as the MLB trade deadline approaches. There is still a chance Miami decides to keep their ace, but the Marlins trade rumors will still feature his name all the way up to the deadline.
