Alcantara is experiencing a comeback season, and for that reason, his time in Miami may be cut short. FanSided’s Christopher Kline believes so as well, and predicts that Alcantara might be put on the trade block pretty soon due to his blazing start.

It was his second straight game pitching into the ninth. Alcántara was removed with a couple runners on and two outs left to get, but the Marlins' bullpen blew it and the former Cy Young winner was responsible for the subsequent runs and Cincinnati's comeback…This is a stunning return to form for Alcántara, who struggled to the tune of a 5. 16 ERA last season after missing all of 2024 for elbow surgery.

Still 30, still in his prime, Miami seems to have its ace back. But he's also on an expiring contract and it's hard to trust the Marlins to maintain their current competitive trajectory. Now might be the time to sell high, recoup meaningful assets, and position Eury Pérez as the rotational alpha moving forward,” Kline wrote.
