Only half an hour after I published a detailed piece urging the Marlins to extend Sandy Alcantara, Craig Mish broke the news Monday morning that they are nearing an agreement that will keep him in Miami through at least the 2026 season.
Miami Marlins are closing in on a 5 year contract extension with Pitcher Sandy Alcantara. Deal per sources will be North of 55 million dollars guaranteed.

Perhaps it’s not a coincidence that they struck a deal the day after Alcantara excitedly posted on Instagram.
