The Miami Marlins, currently third in the National League East with a 44-51 record, are approaching the trade deadline with uncertainty about their roster. Despite an encouraging recent eight-game winning streak, they remain far from playoff contention, sitting 7.5 games out of a wild card spot. Manager Clayton McCullough emphasizes the need to maintain progress and prepare effectively. Right-handed pitcher Sandy Alcántara, despite struggling with a 7.22 ERA this season post-recovery from Tommy John surgery, remains a focal point for potential trades as speculation continues about his future with the team.
We have a lot of work to do and hopefully we can continue to play that brand of baseball that yields more wins than not, and that is where our focus will continue to be.
If the playoffs were to begin today, the Fish would be nowhere close to contention, even for a wild card spot.
One name that has continuously circulated in discussions about who the Marlins might deal is right-handed pitcher Sandy Alcántara.
Look, the guy's not dead, indicating Alcántara's potential to bounce back despite this season's struggles.
