The New York Mets recently faced a significant setback with starting pitcher Griffin Canning suffering a ruptured Achilles, sidelining him for the rest of the season. Canning had been a strong candidate for the Cy Young Award earlier this year, but now the Mets must seek a replacement to fill the void in their rotation.

One potential target for the Mets could be Sandy Alcantara of the Miami Marlins, who, despite a rough start to the season, has shown signs of returning to form. Alcantara, the 2022 NL Cy Young winner, has a 2.74 ERA in June, which may make him a valuable trade asset as the July 30 Trade Deadline approaches. Rumors suggest the Mets are considering an aggressive offer to secure the right-hander.
