Aaron Judge urges Yankees to trade for Sandy Alcantara

timesofindia.indiatimes.com — March 15, 2025 at 05:01 PM UTC

The New York Yankees are facing a pitching crisis after losing Gerrit Cole for the season. Captain Aaron Judge is pushing for the team to acquire Sandy Alcantara from the Miami Marlins to strengthen their rotation. Alcantara, a top pitcher, is under contract until 2028 and would cost the Yankees valuable young prospects like Jasson Domínguez or Anthony Volpe. This presents a difficult decision for the team, balancing immediate needs against future potential. The Yankees are exploring other options but none match Alcantara's reliability. They must decide soon whether to pursue him or risk an uncertain pitching lineup for the season.
