"Jim Bowden is the ex-MLB GM in question, wo is now an analyst for The Athletic and he recently stated on MLB Network Radio that the Yankees have a realistic shot of lining up a deal with the Miami Marlins to bring Alcantara to the Bronx. "I also think Sandy Alcanatara of the Marlins has a legitimate shot of getting traded to the New York Yankees," Bowden said. "I know they've had a lot of discussions.""
"Jones is one of New York's top prospects and he was mentioned as possible trade bait throughout much of the trade deadline season, but the Yankees didn't pull the trigger on any deal that involved the 24-year-old outfielder. The Yankees may not have a choice this time around though if they want to get an arm of the caliber of Alcantara. 2026 will be Alcantara's ninth big league season, debuting with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2017 at 21-years-old before being sent to Miami."
Toronto signed Dylan Cease to a reported seven-year, $210 million contract, signaling a major rotation investment in the AL East. Toronto beat New York for the AL East division title and defeated them in four games in the 2025 ALDS. The Yankees are exploring a top rotation acquisition of former Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara from the Miami Marlins. A proposed scenario would have New York sign Kyle Tucker in free agency and then trade outfielder Spencer Jones to Miami for Alcantara. Spencer Jones is a 24-year-old top prospect who was discussed as trade bait at the deadline. Alcantara will enter his ninth big-league season in 2026 after debuting with St. Louis in 2017 and has been a Marlins top-of-rotation starter since 2018.
