Sandy Alcantara News
The Miami Marlins won't listen to trade offers on Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara this offseason, but they will listen on "almost anyone" else. Beyond Pablo Lopez, the Marlins will listen on Jesus Luzardo, Edward Cabrera and other starters. Miami has an abundance of arms in a market where starters' values are sky high, and the Marlins could use more hitters. Alcantara was a unanimous National League Cy Young winner in 2022 with a 2.28 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 207 strikeouts and 50 walks in 228 2/3 innings pitched this season. The 27-year-old signed a five-year, $56 million contract extension in November of 2021 and should remain in Miami for a while.
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara won the 2022 National League Cy Young award on Wednesday. He becomes the team's first-ever Cy Young winner after he tossed a league-high 228 2/3 innings this year, which is the highest total for a pitcher since Justin Verlander's 223 in 2019. The 27-year-old right-hander's six complete games were the most in baseball in six years and more than any other team in 2022. He threw eight or more innings in 14 of his 32 starts. Alcantara's ERA (2.28), expected ERA (2.92), strikeouts (207) and quality starts (24) all ranked in the top five in the NL. Alcantara was an absolute beast and continued to throw in the upper-90s with his fastball deep into his starts. He'll cost a pretty penny as a fantasy ace in 2023 drafts.
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (rest) has been shut down for the remainder of the season, according to manager Don Mattingly. The Cy Young candidate was originally scheduled to pitch next Wednesday against the Braves, but the team decided to shut him down early. Alcantara ends the year with a 14-9 record, 2.28 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 207:50 K:BB ratio over an astounding 228 IP. Alcantara should be one of the first pitchers drafted next year, especially in points leagues where his volume puts him a step above everyone else.

The Marlins' righty threw a ridiculous 228.2 innings in 2022, lapping the field (Aaron Nola finished second in innings way down at 205). He threw 197.1 innings in 2019, 42 in 2020, and then 205.2 in 2021 - continually proving that he's a legitimate workhorse who should project for 200+ innings once again in 2023. As if that's not enough, he posted an elite 2.28 ERA with a 0.98 WHIP on his way to the National League Cy Young Award. His arsenal is one of the best in the league; he threw four different pitches above 20% usage in 2022, a very rare thing to find - and all four of those pitches were effective. The only reason to criticize Alcantara would be if you are in some kind of strikeout rate league as opposed to a total strikeouts league. The 23% K% that Alcantara has posted over the last few seasons does fall well short of the league's other aces, but it hasn't hurt him in the past and won't hurt him in the future. Nobody will criticize you for taking Alcantara as the #1 pitcher off the board, he's one of the safest investments you can find at the position.
