The Marlins expressed interest in acquiring top Yankees prospects George Lombard Jr. or Spencer Jones in a trade involving Sandy Alcantara. The Yankees, however, were reluctant to part with either player. Alcantara's inconsistent performance, highlighted by a 6.36 ERA over 109 innings, underscores the Marlins' substantial asking price.
