The Miami Marlins have decided not to trade Sandy Alcantara, the former NL Cy Young Award winner, as reported. According to Marlins reporter Craig Mish on X Wednesday, the team has informed Alcantara that he will remain with the team this offseason.
According to sources, the Marlins have notified 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara that he will not be traded this offseason. With his injury recovery progressing well, the team fully expects Alcantara to be their Opening Day starter in 2025.
Alcantara has been sidelined for the season while he recovers from Tommy John surgery performed last October. The 28-year-old had a challenging 2023 season, finishing with a 7-12 record and a 4.14 ERA. He was shut down in September due to a UCL injury, which led to the need for reconstructive surgery.
In contrast, Alcantara was outstanding in 2022, boasting a 14-9 record and a 2.28 ERA. He won the Cy Young Award that year and placed 10th in NL MVP voting.
Alcantara is currently under a five-year, $56 million contract. His skill and cost-effectiveness make him a highly sought-after player, particularly as he is anticipated to come back from surgery next year.
