How SF Giants can get Gabe Kapler’s Marlins to change their mind about a Sandy Alcantara trade

Writer Nick San Miguel suggests the San Francisco Giants could target Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara to upgrade their pitching staff this offseason. Although the Marlins reportedly view Alcantara as a fixture and are reluctant to trade him, the article argues that front office familiarity between Buster Posey, Zack Minasian, and Marlins general manager Gabe Kapler could help facilitate discussions for the former Cy Young Award winner.

San Miguel proposes that the Giants could tempt Miami by offering outfielder Jung Hoo Lee along with prospects such as Bo Davidson or Parks Harber. The piece notes Alcantara pitched 214 innings with a 3.87 ERA in 2026, holding a $21 million club option, and could potentially be utilized as a starter or converted into a high-leverage bullpen arm.
