The Miami Marlins are having a very good 2026 season compared to preseason expectations. At 52-44, the Marlins are just 3.0 games back of the NL East lead, and one game up on a Wild Card spot with a game to go before the All-Star break.
With how good the season has gone, and this team having a legitimate chance to make the postseason, it wouldn't be a shocker if the Marlins didn't sell at the deadline. But, there's still time to make a trade or two.
However, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the Marlins, thanks to owner Bruce Sherman, seemingly are not going to trade Sandy Alcantara this summer. The Marlins owner has no plans to move the former Cy Young winner.
"Marlins owner Bruce Sherman is telling his employees that he wants to keep ace Sandy Alcantara, and has absolutely no intention of trading him at the deadline," Nightengale writes.
