The Miami Marlins are a team that's hovering around .500 this season, and could wind up as a fringe postseason team, or a clear seller by the August 3 trade deadline.
While Miami could avoid acting as sellers, for the future of the franchise, it might be better if they do sell. There is one reason why Miami should sell: Sandy Alcantara.
Tim Kelly of Bleacher Report is urging the Marlins to trade Alcantara this summer by the trade deadline, and for good reason. With a $21 million club option in 2027, the time is now to get the best possible return for Alcantara.
"What also makes the two-time All-Star attractive is his contract includes an affordable $21 million club option for 2027, so he wouldn't be a rental," Kelly writes. "That may make this summer the opportune time for the Marlins to trade the greatest pitcher in their franchise's history, ***** uming they aren't in contention."
