The biggest question surrounding the Miami Marlins this offseason is what they are going to do with their top two pitchers, Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera. Do they trade them, or do they run it back with both of them? The case could be made to do both, but it will all depend on the offers they receive.
The Marlins are considered to have one of the deepest rotations in the majors, and a major reason for that is that Alcantara and Cabrera are at the top of it. Miami exceeded expectations in 2025 and hung around for the final National League Wild Card spot into September. Injuries caught up with them, and they faded.
Regardless, the surprising season should set the tone for 2026 and beyond under manager Clayton McCullough. However, if they are going to do that, keeping both right-handed pitchers is what they will have to do, unless they get blown away by an offer. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com listed each team’s potential trade candidate this offseason, and the Marlins’ choice was not a surprise.
