The Miami Marlins stood pat at the MLB trade deadline when it came to their rotation, holding onto Sandy Alcantara, for better or worse.

Sandy Alcantara admitted that Thursday was one of the hardest days of his career. It has been thought all season that the Miami Marlins could move on from Alcantara amid their rebuilding project, which has included shipping out established players for prospects.

The Miami Marlins opted out of trading their ace, Sandy Alcántara, and the decision has received some backlash, but the Marlins might have made the right call.
