The Miami Marlins have confirmed that ace pitcher Sandy Alcantara will start Opening Day on March 27, 2025, but his future beyond that date is uncertain. Under president of baseball operations Peter Bendix, the organization has focused on strengthening its depth, which may impact its high-paying players. Alcantara is currently in a five-year, $56 million extension, of which he will earn $17.3 million in each of the next two seasons. His performance makes him a valuable asset, but executive decisions will shape his time with the Marlins moving forward.
Alcantara is entering the fourth year of a five-year, $56 million contract extension that also includes a $21 million club option for the sixth year.
Sandy's under contract. He's one of the better deals we did. He's our franchise right now.
The Marlins have spent the first year-plus under president of baseball operations Peter Bendix building up the organizational depth at the expense of the team's top MLB players.
When healthy, Alcantara is arguably one of the league's top pitchers and worth every penny.
