Marlins Open Alcantara Trade Talks, Cubs in the Mix

The Miami Marlins reportedly have Sandy Alcantara available in trade talks, with the Cubs identified as a natural fit for a durable front-half starter. Alcantara, 30, is earning $17.3M this year and has a $21M option for 2027, posting a 4.01 ERA and 4.06 FIP over 143.2 innings. While not a high-strikeout pitcher, his groundballs and six-plus innings per start make him appealing to contenders. Previous chatter tied the Cubs to Alcantara (and to others like Jesus Luzardo and Edward Cabrera), suggesting continued speculation as the Marlins’ position in the wild-card race could push the market, though price and competition will influence any deal.

Marlins Keep Alcantara, Gauge Garrett Trade Market Ahead of Deadline

Miami isn’t pressing the button on a Sandy Alcantara trade, despite market chatter, as he remains the likely rotation anchor under team control through 2027. Braxton Garrett, however, has real trade value and has drawn broad interest from clubs seeking a controllable starter, though the Marlins’ new front office hasn’t rushed his MLB usage. If the right offer comes, Garrett could move, with contenders (and a few rebuilders) such as the D-backs, Cubs, Brewers, White Sox, Rays, Padres, Rangers, Twins, Phillies and Braves among the interested teams, while Miami balances a playoff push with rotation depth around Meyer, Pérez, and others.

Marlins’ All-Star Break Spark Fades as 12-Game Slide Reshapes Deadline Plans

The Miami Marlins went from the hottest team in June to a 12-game losing streak after the All-Star break, dropping to fourth in the NL East and slipping out of the playoff picture; with ace Sandy Alcántara as the focal point of deadline talks and payroll constraints limiting short-term moves, the front office may pivot toward selling rather than buying, though a potentially winnable four-game stretch against the Mets could briefly stabilize momentum.

Marlins Poised to Add Pieces at Deadline While Keeping Sandy Alcantara

The Miami Marlins, riding a hot streak, are expected to be buyers at the August 3 trade deadline, targeting a back-end starter, bullpen depth, and possibly a third baseman, while keeping franchise icon Sandy Alcantara. With a 20th-ranked farm system and a tight payroll, Miami is likely to pursue cost-efficient upgrades and could trade from the big league roster to preserve prospects. Alcantara’s retention is favored by ownership, and extending him could be preferred if the CBA increases spending; overall, the club aims for a balanced, sustainable push rather than a big, all-in move.

Astros Show Interest in Sandy Alcantara

The Houston Astros are in discussions to acquire Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara, a top trade target, though no deal is imminent. Alcantara, returning from Tommy John surgery with mixed results, could be a valuable long-term addition for Houston, especially with other key pitchers potentially leaving after the season. The trade talks are complicated by Alcantara's high salary and the Astros' luxury tax considerations, but his potential return to form could make him an attractive investment as they compete in the AL West.
