All eyes are on Sandy Alcantara<\/a> today, with less than seven hours to go until the MLB trade deadline.\u00a0 The former Cy Young<\/a> winner sports an ugly post-Tommy John<\/a> 6.36 ERA in 21 starts, but he has totaled 12 scoreless innings in his last two starts against the Padres and Cardinals.<\/p>\n

Alcantara is controlled through 2027 by virtue of the contract extension he signed over three years ago.\u00a0 The Astros<\/a> and Red Sox<\/a> were linked to him yesterday, while the Mets<\/a>, Padres<\/a>, and Cubs<\/a> are among those previously connected.\u00a0 This morning, Jon Heyman of the New York Post<\/a> adds another potential suitor: the Yankees.<\/p>\n

The Yankees have Luis Gil<\/a> set to make his season debut Sunday against the Marlins following his spring lat strain, which may send Cam Schlittler<\/a> back to Triple-A (if the latter isn\u2019t included in a trade today).\u00a0 Gil will join veterans Max Fried<\/a>, Carlos Rodon<\/a>, and Marcus Stroman<\/a>, as well as Will Warren<\/a>.\u00a0 As Greg Joyce of the New York Post<\/a> wrote yesterday, a rotation acquisition by the Yankees would force a choice between Warren and Stroman.<\/p>\n

With a competitive balance tax payroll around $314MM after additions of Ryan McMahon<\/a>, Amed Rosario<\/a>, and Austin Slater<\/a>, the Yankees face a 110% tax on every dollar they add this summer.\u00a0 Alcantara is earning $17MM this year and next, with a club option for 2027.\u00a0 Acquiring Alcantara would mean adding more than $6MM to the Yankees\u2019 CBT ledger for this year, plus a tax of around $6.7MM.<\/p>\n

Teams seeking starting pitching are also intrigued by hard-throwing Marlins righty Edward Cabrera<\/a>.\u00a0 Cabrera, 27, is having a better season than Alcantara and is under team control through 2028 at much lower (expected) salaries than Alcantara.\u00a0 According to Will Sammon of The Athletic<\/a>, \u201cinterest in both Alcantara and Cabrera is very high.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sammon also notes that a pair of Marlins righty relievers are drawing interest in Ronny Henriquez<\/a> and Calvin Faucher<\/a>.\u00a0 Henriquez\u2019s 32.4 K% ranks 20th among relievers this year, and he\u2019s been mentioned as an under-the-radar trade candidate by MLBTR several times this<\/a> month<\/a>.\u00a0 Given that Henriquez was a February waiver claim who had limited MLB experience with the Twins, he\u2019s under team control through 2030.<\/p>\n

As you might expect, Sammon reports that Faucher is more likely to be traded today.\u00a0 Faucher, 30 in September, has a 3.73 ERA, 23.2 K%, and 10.7 BB% this year with a 44.2% groundball rate.\u00a0 He\u2019s less intriguing than Henriquez, but is under control through 2029.\u00a0 Righty Anthony Bender<\/a> has also been in rumors this month.<\/p>\n

Finally, Sammon points out that Marlins outfielders Jesus Sanchez<\/a> and Dane Myers<\/a> are also drawing interest.\u00a0 Sanchez, 28 in October, is under team control through 2027.\u00a0 He\u2019s a left-handed hitter who has a slightly above average 104 wRC+ since 2023, though against righties he\u2019s at 119 during that time.\u00a0 Myers, a December 2022 waiver claim from the Tigers, is under team control through \u201929.\u00a0 He\u2019s a righty hitter who can serve as a lefty masher, given his 141 wRC+ against southpaws in 172 plate appearances dating back to 2023.<\/p>\n

Sanchez has been playing right field for the Marlins, often sitting against lefties.\u00a0 Myers has been taking most starts in center, occasionally sharing with Javier Sanoja<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All eyes are on Sandy Alcantara today, with less than seven hours to go until the MLB trade…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2395],"tags":[5,1111,1951,4914,4942,1816,778,58,4171,4,7729,3480],"class_list":{"0":"post-215866","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami-marlins","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-calvin-faucher","10":"tag-dane-myers","11":"tag-edward-cabrera","12":"tag-jesus-sanchez","13":"tag-marlins","14":"tag-miami","15":"tag-miami-marlins","16":"tag-miamimarlins","17":"tag-mlb","18":"tag-ronny-henriquez","19":"tag-sandy-alcantara"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114948664474754504","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215866"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215866\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
