Will the Boston Red Sox continue to strengthen their starting pitcher, who recently recruited Garrett Crochet, 26, a left-handed 100-mile-per-view pitcher? It is reported that the Red Sox will seek to recruit a right-handed 100-mile-per-view pitcher.스포츠토토
The U.S. MLB Network said on the 10th (Korea time) that Boston could seek another big trade this winter.
The target is Sandy Alcantara (30), who entered the Miami Marlins' fire sale trade market. Alcantara, who won the National League Cy Young Award three years ago.
Miami recently started fire sale after appointing Peter Bendix as its general manager. As a result, even the ace of the Cy Young Award has entered the trading market.
Alcantara suffered a right elbow injury in September 2023 and underwent Tommy John surgery after the season. As a result, he did not play a single game this season.
Tommy John surgery takes between 12 and 16 months to recover. As a result, Alcanta is expected to play in the opening game of the 2025 season without much difficulty.
Alcantara is a right - handed starter who won the 2022 National League Cy Young Award. He is the best complete pitcher in the field and has exceeded 200 innings for two consecutive years in 2021 and 2022.
In 2022, when he won the Cy Young Award, he pitched 228 2/3 innings in 32 games, flying 14-9 with a 2.28 strikeout and 207 ERA.
However, the ERA soared to 4.14 in 2023. He also suffered a serious injury at the end of the season and lost the entire season. The number of innings pitched also decreased to 1,84 2/3 innings.
The biggest essential element of resurrection is the restoration of restraint. Alcantara throws up to 102 miles of hard sinker. Resurrection is difficult if the restraint does not return after a major operation.
Boston is a team with one of the best farm systems in the Major League. Miami could hardly afford to make its mouth water. As a result, chances are high that Alcantara will wear red socks.
If Boston acquires Alcantara, it will form a right-handed and left-handed 100-mile one-two punch. The starting lineup will be greatly upgraded in an instant.
