Marlins Expected to Retain Sandy Alcantara for 2027
Miami has no intention of trading its franchise ace this offseason, with the $21MM club option for next season likely to be picked up.
The Marlins plan to keep Sandy Alcantara rather than trade him this offseason, according to a beat reporter with the Miami Herald. Miami holds a $21MM club option for 2027 with a $2MM buyout, and exercising it is considered the likely outcome. Owner Bruce Sherman has previously called Alcantara a franchise icon, and Alcantara himself has expressed interest in remaining a Marlin long-term. The club has almost no other payroll commitments for 2027, making the option financially feasible despite the Marlins' typically modest spending.
