AP source: Marlins agree with Alcantara, Garcia on deals
The Miami Marlins have reached contract agreements with ace right-hander Sandy Alcantara and free agent outfielder Avisail GarciaNOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Working on extension with FIsh Alcantara and the Marlins are working toward a five-year contract extension worth at least $55 million, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
Impact The two sides are likely to finalize the deal within the next few days, giving the 26-year-old right-hander some longer-term security while allowing the Marlins to keep him under club control for what would be his first two years of free agency. Alcantara emerged as one of the game's top young frontline arms in 2021, covering 205.2 innings while posting a 3.19 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 201:50 K:BB.

Puts up quality start Alcantara (9-14) allowed three earned runs on nine hits and no walks with six strikeouts through six innings, taking the loss in Saturday's 7-3 defeat to the Rays.
Impact Instead of being lights out as he has been over his last three starts, Alcantara was merely fine against Tampa Bay. Five Rays crossed home under his watch, with the big blow coming via a two-run homer by Mike Zunino in the fifth inning. Alcantara emerged from the dugout to start the seventh, but found himself heading back to the bench rather quickly after giving up a single and an RBI double. With his six frames worked Saturday night, the right-hander presently trails only the Phillies' Zack Wheeler in innings pitched this season. The 26-year-old lines up for one more start, which should come against said Phillies on Friday.

Goes six innings in no-decision Alcantara allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk over six innings in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Alcantara committed a pair of errors in the first inning, leading to Cole Tucker scoring an unearned run. He later gave up an RBI triple to Anthony Alford before recording an out in the seventh. It was his shortest outing and lowest strikeout total since his Aug. 6 start in Colorado. Still, he lowered his season ERA to 3.05 with a 189:49 K:BB through 194.2 frames. Alcantara is lined up to face the Rays on the road next weekend.

Dominates Nats Alcantara (9-13) picked up the win Monday, allowing only one hit over eight scoreless innings in a 3-0 victory over the Nationals. He struck out seven without walking a batter.
Impact The right-hander continues to dominate, taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning and eventually exiting after 96 pitches (68 strikes). Alcantara's performance was even more remarkable considering he nearly came out of the game in the fourth after taking a screaming Juan Soto comebacker off his knee. The Miami ace has reeled off seven straight quality starts, posting a scintillating 1.55 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 64:7 K:BB through 52.1 innings over that stretch as he positions himself to be a Cy Young favorite in 2022.
