Marlins Weigh Alcántara Trade, Guerrero Eyes Free Agency

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is set to become a major free agent in the upcoming season, with the Toronto Blue Jays keen to retain him despite failing to agree on a contract extension. Guerrero is expected to attract significant interest from other teams, with his focus on joining a winning team potentially influencing his decision. Meanwhile, the Miami Marlins are considering trade options for their star pitcher Sandy Alcántara, who is returning from Tommy John surgery and holds a valuable contract. Alcántara's performance might increase his trade value, with teams like the Baltimore Orioles expressing interest. Discussions highlight Alcántara as a potentially greater negotiation asset than Guerrero, given the Marlins' rebuilding phase. Both players' situations underscore a dynamic and competitive upcoming free agency and trade market.
