Cubs may trade for Sandy Alcántara from Marlins
The Chicago Cubs are being considered as a potential destination for Sandy Alcántara, the Miami Marlins' ace and 2022 Cy Young winner. Alcántara, who missed the 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery, has shown strong performance since returning. The Marlins are expected to trade Alcántara as part of their rebuilding efforts. A proposed trade suggests the Cubs could offer pitcher Javier Assad and top prospects to acquire him. This move aligns with the Cubs' strategy to strengthen their roster for the 2025 season. Alcántara's addition would enhance the Cubs' pitching rotation for the next three years. The team has been focused on making significant moves to improve its competitiveness.
