A few injuries later, and the Yankees are now very beatable, an issue for a team with such a significant payroll.<\/p>\n<p>Losing\u00a0Gerrit Cole\u00a0was the worst scenario for New York, but it\u2019s a reality the organization has to face. Cole is out for the year after undergoing surgery and will be deeply missed.<\/p>\n<p>However, this is the Yankees, and if there\u2019s one team in baseball who knows how to get a star, it\u2019s them. Times have changed, but there\u2019s still plenty of time to make a move, and the old Ynakes would\u2019ve done just that.<\/p>\n<p>Now? There are wonders about that, but if they want to show they\u2019re still the evil empire,\u00a0Sandy Alcantara\u00a0could be there for the taking. Jack Rotolo of Last Word on Sports proposed the idea of trading for the \u201chigh price\u201d right-hander, adding Cole\u2019s injury as the reason to make a trade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Miami Marlins are looking to be one of the worst teams in MLB this season, so presumably, they\u2019ll be willing to field offers for their ace. Coming off Tommy John surgery that caused him to miss the entirety of 2024, Alc\u00e1ntara is looking much like he did when he won the NL Cy Young Award in 2022\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Yankees have a rich recent history of trading for impactful players from the Marlins, including Giancarlo Stanton of course, but also Michael King, Jazz Chisholm Jr., and Nathan Eovaldi. If the Yankees can acquire Alc\u00e1ntara, they definitely should, despite the high price that it would cost,\u201d\u00a0Rotolo wrote.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Alcantara Available?<\/h2>\n<p>With the season set to start for the New York Yankees and most other teams in about a week, there isn\u2019t much time left to make a deal. Alcantara hasn\u2019t been dealt yet, and likely won\u2019t be until the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the Yankees come in with an offer the\u00a0Miami Marlins can\u2019t refuse, they could move on from the Cy Young Award winner sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Marlins don\u2019t plan to move him yet, making the situation a bit more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Marlins, usually willing to trade anyone, are saying for now that Alc\u00e1ntara isn\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlc\u00e1ntara missed 2024 with Tommy John surgery but he\u2019s throwing 101 mph in camp and is a real gamer. Would be a huge get. But the lack of buzz around a former Cy Young winner suggests he\u2019s a star Miami wants to keep \u2014 at least for today,\u201d\u00a0Heyman wrote.<\/p>\n<h2>Conflicting Report on Alcantara<\/h2>\n<p>Despite Heyman\u2019s report, ESPN\u2019s Jeff Passan reported earlier in March that Alcantara will be on an inning limit. He\u2019s dealt with injuries in the past, which could be why the Miami Marlins are keeping him on an inning limit.<\/p>\n<p>However, the New York Yankees should benefit from that, as he\u2019d be fresh for a postseason run in the second half if they were to land him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeams are already wondering whether Alc\u00e1ntara will be available at the trade deadline, with the Marlins far from contending and his contract running through 2026 with a club option for 2027. He\u2019ll be on an innings limit, particularly early in the season, leaving the potential for him to pitch into October if necessary,\u201d\u00a0Passan wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Aaron Boone walking to mound After losing in the World Series last season, the\u00a0New York Yankees\u00a0looked to be the favorites in the American League entering the&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34302,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
