The Miami club, which declared "rebuilding" by trading a large number of key players this season, is reportedly considering disposing of even Sandy Alcantara (29), the team's ace this winter.메이저놀이터
The Miami Herald recently reported, "Miami may trade right-handed starter Sandy Alcantara, who was the winner of the 2022 Cy Young Award, this winter."
"We do not deny the possibility of Alcantara being traded. We will listen to everything," Miami manager Peter Bendix told a media outlet. "Alcantara is a very important player for our team. I want to see him throw in the opening game."
Alcantara, a native of the Dominican Republic, made his major league debut in 2017 for St. Louis. After playing in eight games in his first year with a 4.32 ERA without a win or loss, he was traded to Miami in 2018, marking a turning point.
Having been steadily given the opportunity to start since 2019, he started a total of 32 games in 2022, three years later, and won the Cy Young Award, which is given to the "best pitcher" by pitching well with 14 wins, 9 losses and a 2.28 ERA.
His performance was not just superficial. Details were even better. He pitched 228 and 2/3 innings that year, showing how powerful he was on the mound, allowing 50 walks and 207 strikeouts.
However, he underwent Tommy John Surgery last year, which allowed him to throw in no single game this year. According to the media, the surgery and rehabilitation went well, and he will be able to see him on the mound during next year's spring camp.
Miami President Bendix made his first relationship with Major League Baseball in Tampa Bay in 2009 as an "intern" and then took the front-office process step by step to become Tampa Bay's general manager in 2019.
When he was in Tampa Bay, he is considered a "master" of trade that transformed him into a starting player in the big leagues by recruiting a number of players including Choi Ji-man (33), Yandy Diaz (33. Tampa Bay), Tyler Glasnow (30. Los Angeles Dodgers), Randy Arosarena (29. Seattle), and Isaac Paredes (25. Houston).
He also advanced to the postseason for the fifth consecutive year from 2019 to last year of Tampa Bay, a major small market in the Major League. Therefore, the Miami owner who recruited him reportedly gave Bendix full authority.
As Bendix, who has been given full power to run the team, continues to speed up the "rebuilding" process, attention is being paid to whether he will even sell the team's "Ace."
