The Marlins right-hander received 12 votes, more than double the second-place finisher (Chicago White Sox centerfielder Luis Robert Jr. with five). The Marlins typically don't like to spend a ton of money, and Alcántara is the only player on their roster currently with a 2025 salary over $4.5 million. He's earning $17.3 million this season.

Sandy Alcántara is still viewed as the most likely star to get traded ahead of this summer’s deadline, even if the Miami Marlins’ former Cy Young has an 8.42 ERA coming off Tommy John surgery.

With Shota Imanaga out for a bit with a hamstring injury, Justin Steele out for the remainder of the campaign, and more injuries likely on the way if history repeats itself, the Cubs need to show interest in Sandy Alcantara.
