Red Sox Trade Idea Cuts Ties With Wilyer Abreu for Cy Young Winner Sandy Alcantara
Red Sox Trade Idea Cuts Ties With Wilyer Abreu for Cy Young Winner Sandy Alcantara originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Rumors have suggested that the Boston Red Sox could move on from outfielder Wilyer Abreu. Abreu, who was playing lights out to start the season, has quieted down a bit recently. He's hitting .252 with 13 home runs. While he's still a valuable piece to the Red Sox, moving on from the Gold Glover makes sense to ensure Roman Anthony daily at-bats. Moving Abreu allows them to do that in an easier manner. Advertisement In a recent trade idea from Patrick McAvoy, the Red Sox would accomplish just that in a deal with the Miami Marlins for right-hander Sandy Alcantara. The Red Sox desperately need pitching, and if they improve over the next few weeks to months, they should be in a position to make the postseason, holding an ace in their rotation if they were to land Alcantara. Boston Red Sox right fielder Wilyer Abreu (52) rounds the bases after hitting a home run during the first inning against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway DeChiara-Imagn Images Boston Red Sox receive: Right-handed pitcher Sandy Alcantara Miami Marlins receive: Outfielder Abreu and Left-handed pitcher Payton Tolle (Red Sox's No. 15 prospect) 'Again, this is just a hypothetical. Abreu and Jarren Duran both have been mentioned recently as trade candidates. Boston has a surplus of outfield talent so it makes sense. Between the two, Abreu has more years of control and is significantly better defensively. Both of those are arguments to keep him, but that also could bring back a higher return,' he wrote. Advertisement Alcantara hasn't been his normal self during the 2025 campaign, but that's not much of a surprise given he's dealt with injuries. He owns a 6.69 ERA and has struck out just 59 hitters in 74.0 innings. If the Red Sox were to trade for him, the hope would be that he'd figure things out.

Dodgers Positioned to Trade for Sandy Alcantara After Roki Sasaki Setback?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Los Angeles Dodgers made several high-profile acquisitions to ensure they wouldn't find themselves in the same boat as last year. The team added Blake Snell, Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates and other arms this past winter to avoid limping into the trade deadline without a healthy pitching staff. Instead, it has seen more than a dozen arms hit the injured list in the first half. And it now seems like the Dodgers can no longer count on Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki being a meaningful contributor to the rotation this year after his latest setback. After struggling with his command in his first few starts for the Dodgers, Sasaki was moved to the injured list with a right shoulder issue. The Dodgers then moved him to the 60-day injured list and announced that they "have no timeline" for his return to throwing, according to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register.

(Photo by Jasen Vinlove/) Vinlove/Getty Since then, they've been encouraged by some progress he has made, but still haven't announced a potential return date. Without a clear return for Sasaki to the rotation, it seems likely that the team is considering a trade to acquire another starter before it's too late. Sports Illustrated's Nick Selbe has predicted that will mean trading for Sandy Alcantara from the Miami Marlins. "The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner has been on a winding path to rediscover his form after making his return from Tommy John surgery," Selbe wrote. "Since the start of June, the results have been much better: a 2.74 ERA and 3.20 FIP in four outings, with a meager 5.3% walk rate. If he can keep that up, interest should be high in the 29-year-old, who has a club option to keep him under contract through 2027." With the Miami Marlins serving as one of the few sure-fire sellers at the upcoming deadline, Alcantara has been seen as a likely trade target all season. He struggled to recapture his previous effectiveness in his first few starts, but now that he's looking more like his old self, the Dodgers could be interested in acquiring him.
