Miami Marlins Weigh Sandy Alcantara Trade Ahead MLB Deadline

As the 2025 MLB trade deadline approaches, the Miami Marlins are expected to be sellers, with star pitcher Sandy Alcantara as their most prominent trade candidate despite his recent struggles and 7.89 ERA this season following Tommy John surgery. Alcantara, a former Cy Young Award winner, has shown signs of improvement and remains under team control through 2027, which gives Miami the flexibility to hold or trade him depending on offers. While contending teams may pursue Alcantara for his elite pitching potential, the Marlins might also wait until the offseason or next trade deadline to maximize his value. Aside from Alcantara, players like outfielder Dane Myers and pitcher Cal Quantrill could attract trade interest as sleeper candidates, offering depth and versatility to potential buyers. Conversely, some younger talents such as Eury Perez, Agustin Ramirez, and Kyle Stowers are considered untouchable by the Marlins due to their long-term value and promising development. Meanwhile, the Marlins continue to monitor the progress of their recent draft picks, who have faced injury setbacks but show potential to contribute in the future.
