Alcantara Full Circle

Since he's not starting tonight, maybe make the trade tonight, have him switch dugouts and uniforms, and start Wed......wouldn't THAT be a Hoot?!

MLB.com still has him as the listed starter.

Fangraphs too.

I think Sandy will be in demand to the point that StL drops out of the bidding, if they're even interested at all. I don't know if he'll ever get back to where he was but he's only due $17M next year and $21M the next against a $2M buyout. That's cheap enough that there's little downside exposure if he keeps rolling out a 6+ ERA.

According to MLB.com they are starting a pitcher named Bergert. His last start was 7 shutout innings vs San Diego. 4 starts prior to that were poor.

Likely they are skipping his start because he is gone.

Who are you talking about? Bergert is starting for the Padres vs the Mets.

I clicked on the wrong link. It will be interesting to see what happens.
