"Then again, an even more recent report from Bob Nightengale has Marlins owner Bruce Sherman reportedly saying that he "fully expects" Sandy to still be with the team when the season starts. So while on the one hand it appears that Peter Bendix is having way more of those conversations he loves than he did this time a year ago, it also seems that the asking price remains extremely high for the Marlins ace."
"Likely, the kind of win that only happens if some contender loses their ace to either an unfortunate injury or the revelation they "hung out" with Emmanuel Clase too much. Keith Law and Jeff Passan need to fall over themselves laughing at the pilfering that took place of that unfortunate team's system by Bendix's hand, while singing the praises of the Marlins."
Miami's front office is reportedly ready to move Sandy Alcantara after failing to receive acceptable offers at the 2025 trade deadline, though ownership still expects him to be with the team when the season starts. Team officials appear to be conducting more trade conversations than a year ago while maintaining a very high asking price for the ace. Any trade must prioritize incoming talent and be seen as a major win to sustain the fragile goodwill of the fanbase. The Marlins should avoid perception that a deal is driven by payroll reduction for 2026 rather than roster improvement.
