Part 2/10:
Starting with Sandy Alcantara, a formidable ace who notably wasn't traded at the July deadline, the analyst predicts that Alcantara must be moved this winter. Tied to Miami, which was competitive last year, Alcantara’s high salary and impending free agency make his trade almost inevitable. His predicted landing spot? The Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox, aiming to bolster their rotation for a postseason push, are seen as a perfect fit. Pairing Alcantara with emerging talents like Garrett Crochet could give Boston a top-tier staff capable of deep playoff runs. This move would involve the Sox acquiring a veteran pitcher to lead a revamped rotation, aligning with their goal of returning to October.
