Three New York Mets players—outfielders Juan Soto and Starling Marte and shortstop Francisco Lindor—expressed to Mike Puma of the New York Post that they would like to see their team pursue Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara if he became available.

Soto publicly urged the Mets to acquire Alcantara, the 2022 NL Cy Young winner, ahead of Tuesday’s 4-2 loss. Alcantara, who missed last season with Tommy John surgery, limited the Mets to two runs in five innings. “It would be one of the best trades that we could have,” Soto told the New York Post.
