Bad season by Sandy Alcántara places Marlins in an uncomfortable position

The bad year of the winner of the Cy Young Prize of the National League significantly affects its value for the deadline for changes.

Sandy Alcántara is in the middle of its worst season in the Major Leagues. The winner of the award Cy Young of the National League of 2022, who comes from getting lost a year after surgery Tommy Johnhe simply has not been able to find any kind of rhythm in the two months that have passed in the current season and every time he has the opportunity to launch, his appearances have had disastrous conclusions.

In statistical terms the presence of Alcantara In the mound it has cost practically a victory and a half to the Miami Marlinswhich is reflected in your War of -1.4. An astronomical effectiveness of 8.47 in 51 inputs, as well as an era+ of just 52, are only part of a section in which the worst statistical performance of their entire career accumulates in MLB. These numbers are also accompanied by an independent Picheo of Defense (FIP) of 5.36 and an average hits and balls per ball per 1,667 launched input. In flat terms, 2025 has been, at least so far, a disaster for Alcantara.

However, the bad year of Alcantara directly affects short -term plans of Marlins And more taking into account that the deadline for changes is approaching, where for weeks it has been rumored that the Dominican pitcher could be one of the pieces that would receive the most attention. His performance could point to what maybe it will not be so.

For the Marlinswho are in the middle of a reconstruction, change to Alcantara To recharge prospects, it makes all the meaning of the world. From the economic part, the opener’s contract is friendly for the team and keep control of this until after the 2026 season, as well as a team option for 2027.

On the competitive side, the Marlins They do not have the tools to fight a division against Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves and New York Metsnor to fight for the hope of a Wild Card in a national league with highly competitive teams such as San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Breweers either St. Louis Cardinals.

Additionally, the Marlins They have a group of level pitchers in minor leagues that could be step on professionalism with a lot of quality in the coming years, so the hole of Alcantara It could be filled relatively quickly.

The bad year of Alcantara It could derail all these plans, taking into account that its market value has suffered considerably after two years of poor performance. The Marlinsat least for the moment, they must think very well what they will do in the coming weeks for their reconstruction process and what they could obtain in case of changing to Alcantara now.

Anyway, things look very bad for Marlins and for the Dominican opener in 2025.
