Speaking to the media at the Marlins’ annual Thanksgiving meals distribution event on Friday, Sandy Alcantara confirmed that he and the team have had ongoing contract extension negotiations. This came just days after the Miami Herald’s Craig Mish characterized those talks as a “stalemate” situation and less than two weeks after Jon Morosi of MLB Network reported that the team is considering whether to shop its veteran starters (including Alcantara).
You can hear it in Sandy’s voice and Mish’s sources corroborate it: the Marlins don’t feel any urgency to get this extension done.
