The New York Yankees off-season has been a quiet one thus far. Trent Grisham accepted the qualifying offer, and Tim Hill will return to the bullpen. Outside of these moves, Jack Curry dispelled the notion that the team was in on Tatsuya Imai, and the most money they might spend this winter could be bringing Cody Bellinger back into the fold.
The prevailing thought is that if the Yankees do acquire a starter, it would be through the trade market. If that does happen, one name potentially off the board is Sandy Alcantara. According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Alcantara is only moving if a trade offer blows away the Miami Marlins.
“Marlins will listen on Cabrera, but two suitors (Houston, Baltimore) are no longer involved, and Marlins don’t want to sell short on him,” Jackson posted on X. “They want to keep Alcantara (would have to take an incredible offer to even consider a deal), per source.”
