Of course, there's no doubt that an addition like Alcantara would be huge for the Mets, because since making his debut in 2017, he's thrown 910.1 innings, putting together a 3.72 ERA, 1.155 WHIP, and 20.7 WAR.

This Marlins regime consistently tells interested teams legit ace Sandy Alcantara is not available. But considering the rest of their roster, rival execs remain hopeful their minds change. The belief remains that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays will figure it out for close to $500 million.

Three New York Mets players—outfielders Juan Soto and Starling Marte and shortstop Francisco Lindor—expressed to Mike Puma of the New York Post that they would like to see their team pursue Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara if he became available.
