They\u2019ll have the ammunition to get most deals done,\u201d\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s Dodgers beat writer Fabian Ardaya\u00a0wrote this week. \u201cPerhaps they are the team that thinks it can get Sandy Alcantara right after struggling in his return from Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tpd-incontent-ad-container advertisement-label\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe Dodgers tried to pry Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers last year before swinging a deal with them for Jack Flaherty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LA is having another good season in 2025. However, their pitching staff has been hammered by an outbreak of injuries. Fifteen pitchers, including major offseason additions Blake Snell, Kirby Yates, and Tanner Scott, have also missed notable amounts of time due to injuries. That is why it is not a surprise that the club has been linked to potential trades for impact arms this summer.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-could-the-los-angeles-dodgers-actually-trade-for-sandy-alcantara\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Could the Los Angeles Dodgers actually trade for Sandy Alcantara?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large mobile-image-full-width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1312183\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/MLB-Miami-Marlins-at-Pittsburgh-Pirates-26419252-788x582.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=788,height=582,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/MLB-Miami-Marlins-at-Pittsburgh-Pirates-26419252.jpg 788w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=428,height=316,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/MLB-Miami-Marlins-at-Pittsburgh-Pirates-26419252.jpg 428w\" alt=\"sandy alcantara\" width=\"788\" height=\"582\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Credit: Philip G. Pavely-Imagn Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Miami Marlins star has been linked to trade rumors over the last few seasons. Even after missing all of 2024 due to Tommy John surgery. In his first year back, he has struggled mightily. He owns a ghastly 7.14 ERA and 1.429 WHIP heading into the weekend. However, many evaluators around the game believe he will eventually return to elite form as the season progresses.<\/p>\n<p>Because of his awful start, the asking price for the two-time All-Star may have dipped a bit. However, as Ardaya mentioned, the Dodgers have the minor league chips to make any trade they want. If LA were able to acquire Sandy Alcantara, he would join fellow Cy Young winners Clayton Kershaw and Blake Snell.<\/p>\n<p>However, Ardaya added, \u201cDodgers are bullish on what they have coming back\u201d to the starting rotation. And they are not desperate to make big moves because they are confident Snell, Tyler Glasnow, and Shohei Ohtani will return to the rotation in the second half.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0are sure to look at potential trade upgrades before the deadline next month.
