Francisco Lindor: ‘It would almost be like adding Soto’<\/h2>\n

\"Best<\/p>\n

\n

When the MLB trade deadline rolls around later this summer, Miami Marlins ace\u00a0Sandy Alcantara\u00a0<\/strong>will undoubtedly be one of the biggest names on the rumor mill.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old right-hander is coming off of Tommy John surgery that wiped out his entire 2024 season, but the two-time All-Star isn\u2019t all that far from a Cy Young season in 2022, when he recorded a 2.28 ERA over 228.2 innings of work.<\/p>\n

Alcantara is under contract through the 2026 season, and the Marlins have a club option for 2027. But with Miami seemingly being nowhere close to contention, it\u2019s fair to assume teams with World Series aspirations will come calling.<\/p>\n

Could the\u00a0Mets\u00a0be one of them?\u00a0Juan Soto<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Francisco Lindor<\/strong>\u00a0would certainly be on board.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Mike Puma of the New York Post,\u00a0Soto and Lindor shared their thoughts on the possibility of the Mets going after Alcantara should he become the biggest fish on the market.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be one of the best trades that we could have,\u201d Soto told Puma about potentially reeling Alcantara in. \u201cI know we have great pitching here, but adding a Cy Young winner like that would be huge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he goes to a team that has a chance to compete at the end, I think you are going to see who he is,\u201d Soto added. \u201cHe is doing that on a team that has no serious chance to go to the playoffs, but he keeps trying and competing even without run support. Whenever he goes to a winning team you are going to see what Sandy Alcantara is capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n

And if you ask Lindor, the Mets adding Alcantara would feel similar to when the Mets signed another star this past offseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would almost be like adding Soto,\u201d Lindor said. \u201cYou add Soto, it\u2019s going to help the team. You add Alcantara and it\u2019s going to help the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alcantara allowed two earned runs on three hits over his 5.0 innings on Tuesday night, as the Marlins downed the Mets, 4-2. In two starts this season, Alcantara has pitched to a 3.72 ERA with 11 strikeouts in 9.2 innings, showing signs of being the pitcher he was prior to Tommy John.<\/p>\n

As Soto told Puma, \u201cIt\u2019s going to take a lot to get him,\u201d but with the Mets already dealing with injuries in the starting rotation to\u00a0Sean Manaea<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Frankie Montas,<\/strong>\u00a0a stocked farm system at their disposal, and an owner in\u00a0Steve Cohen\u00a0<\/strong>who wants to win as soon as possible, the thought of Alcantara pitching it Queens doesn\u2019t sound all that fishy after all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
