Scout’s note
Sandy Alcantara, 31, from Azua, Dominican Republic, has 1,084 strikeouts across 213 big-league games. That is the number that tells you what he is — a workhorse who has missed bats for a long time and is still on the roster doing it.

What he’s paid
Free agent after this seasonA market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s, as of .
- 2026 salary
- $21.00M
- Tax hit
- $21.00M
- Service time
- 8 yr 100 d
- Guaranteed
- $56M
The deal 5 years $56M (2022–2026), club option for 2027 — $11.2M a year on average, worked out by us rather than stated on the sheet, and not the same thing as the tax hit above
On the sheet: 5 y/$56M (22-26)+27 cl opt · agent CAA · 2 / 3 options left
Regime read from his service time, not from the sheet — it does not project him past this season. Super Two eligibility is the top 22% of a class and can move this line in a way service time alone cannot see.
Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Miami Marlins.
A second set of books
The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of . We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Salary | $17.0M | $21.0M |
A base salary under his own reading, and never subtracted from the cash figure above: a signing bonus lands in one and not the other, so the two disagree on most men without either being wrong. And the sheet does not mark which future seasons are GUARANTEED — a club option and a projected arbitration award are both just a number here, so read past the end of the deal as his forecast rather than as money owed.
Two sources, read a month apart, put this guarantee at the same dollar. That is the check, and it passed.
The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.

Sandy Alcantara missed the final month of 2023 and all of 2024 and is still fifth in MLB in innings pitched since his rookie season in 2019. https://t.co/afI0tWfgCL
Sandy Alcantara said postgame tonight was “devastating” for him because of the position the Marlins are in.
Umpire favor
