The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers will be watching closely over the next few months, hoping that multiple teams put themselves in a position to become sellers.

If the Yankees and Dodgers have their choice of players, there will be some interesting names to watch, including right-hander Sandy Alcantara. There's reason to believe, due to some injuries, that both teams could be in the market for starting pitching.

If that ends up being the case, it sounds like Alcantara could be one of the guys who eventually becomes available.

“If the Marlins are in the playoff hunt, they’ll probably hold onto him, but if they drop out, I expect them to trade him with only a year remaining of team control (club option) after this season,” Jim Bowden of The Athletic wrote.
