What happened: The Marlins reportedly want to keep pitcher Sandy Alcantara and add pieces ahead of the MLB trade deadline, per Yahoo Sports. Ken Rosenthal reported sources say Miami is likely to keep Alcantara and add strategically rather than deal him.

Why it matters: Miami enters the deadline stretch at 52-42, winners of six straight, positioning the club as a buyer rather than a seller. Keeping the same Sandy Alcantara who became the Marlins' all-time strikeout leader anchors a rotation the front office now appears to be building around instead of dismantling.

By the numbers: Marlins are 52-42 this season with a six-game winning streak, scoring 4.6 runs per game while allowing 4.3.

What to watch: Watch for which pieces Miami adds before the deadline as the front office shifts toward buying.
