The Miami Marlins appear to be focusing on a rebuilding phase rather than competing for a playoff spot, indicated by their minimal investment this offseason and poor performance thus far. Despite holding an uncharacteristic seven-game winning streak, they sit at 37-45 with a meager 0.1-percent chance of making the playoffs, prompting speculation about their position as sellers at the trade deadline. The decline of Sandy Alcantara, once a Cy Young winner, adds to their challenges, as his underwhelming stats make him a difficult trade candidate.
The Marlins seem like one of the few teams actively trying to avoid playing baseball once the regular season ends, despite the expanded playoffs.
FanGraphs gives them a 0.1-percent chance of making the playoffs, emphasizing their focus on the future as a clear selling point.
Sandy Alcantara's performance has significantly deteriorated, dropping to dead last among pitchers with a 6.98 ERA, making a trade unlikely.
Despite his previous accolades, Alcantara's declining stats and substantial contract make him a difficult player for the Marlins to trade.
