Marlins, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/a\/alcansa01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Sandy Alcantara<\/a> being a pitcher they\u2019re targeting, sources tell Fireside Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>A Cy Young winner in 2022, Alcantara has struggled with Miami since undergoing Tommy John Surgery, and that has made his market value difficult to gauge.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the hideous 6.36 ERA and 4.48 FIP on the season, the Yankees (alongside other teams) have checked in on Alcantara including the crosstown rival Mets.<\/p>\n<p>Organizations have taken a liking to Alcantara, and while the Marlins have set a high price and are willing to hang onto him for now, his trade market has started to heat up.<\/p>\n<p>Sandy Alcantara Emerges As Trade Target For the Yankees At the Deadline<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MLB-San-Diego-Padres-at-Miami-Marlins-26706730.jpg\"

miserable 2025 season, returning from Tommy John Surgery this year and tanking his value a good bit during the year.<\/p>\n<p>Following back-to-back games with zero earned runs allowed, Alcantara has become a pitcher of interest to the Yankees, who are talking to the Marlins about a potential deal.<\/p>\n<p>Teams such as the Mets will present a challenge for Brian Cashman, as David Stearns and his front office have built up a formidable farm system headed by Carson Benge and Jonah Tong.<\/p>\n<p>Benge in particular looks like a dark horse contender for a roster spot on the Mets on Opening Day in 2026, as he\u2019s made a mockery of Double-A pitching.<\/p>\n<p>Contenders across the league would love to take a flier on Alcantara at this point, but he isn\u2019t a lock to be moved since the Marlins can always just hang onto him if they don\u2019t like what they\u2019re being offered.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE: <a

his career achievements.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the Yankees land him or not remains to be seen, but they would love to acquire someone who can improve their rotation, and the Marlins would love to cash-in and free up payroll.<\/p>\n<p>Relievers are among other priorities for the Bronx Bombers with a wide net being cast at the top, middle, and bottom of the
