Sergio Alcántara News
The Chicago Cubs signed free-agent infielder Sergio Alcantara to a minor-league deal on Tuesday. Alcantara spent his third major-league season in 2022 with the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres, slashing a combined .220/.261/.356 with a .617 OPS, six home runs, 29 RBI, 26 runs scored and one stolen base in just 224 plate appearances and 93 total games. In 192 games over three big-league seasons, he has hit .209/.281/.343 with 12 homers, 47 RBI, 58 runs scored and four stolen bases. The 26-year-old switch-hitter has hit .258/.344/.323 with a .667 OPS in eight minor-league seasons. Alcantara will serve as infield depth for the Cubs entering the 2023 season and has a pretty good shot at seeing more time in the big leagues at some point next year.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired infielder Sergio Alcantara from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for cash considerations. He was designated for assignment last week and could get more chances in Arizona. Nick Ahmed (shoulder) is currently sidelined, so Alcantara could begin the season as the starting shortstop. The 25-year-old hit .205/.303/.327 with five homers last season in 255 plate appearances. In a corresponding move, outfielder Josh VanMeter has been designated for assignment. He hit .212/.300/.364 with 16 homers and 13 steals with Arizona last season. VanMeter should draw some interest on the waiver wire, but isn't much of a fantasy option right now. Alcantara should get some at-bats in Arizona, but is tough to trust.
Chicago Cubs infielder Sergio Alcantara has been optioned to Triple-A Iowa ahead of Thursday's contest against the St. Louis Cardinals. The young infielder has struggled during his time at the big league level. Right-hander Trevor Megill will be recalled in a corresponding move. The Cubs bullpen has been used frequently lately and needs another fresh arm. Alcantara could be back up around the trade deadline, but won't be much of an asset in fantasy leagues.
