The Miami Marlins have picked up the club option on pitcher Sandy Alcantara, the former National League Cy Young Award winner, according to a report from Baseball Now on Friday.

Alcantara, who won the Cy Young in 2022, remains under contract with the Marlins for the upcoming season. The right-hander has been a cornerstone of Miami's rotation since his debut, earning All-Star honors twice and leading the league in innings pitched during his award-winning campaign.

The decision to exercise the option ensures continuity for a Marlins pitching staff that has built its identity around Alcantara's durability and ace-level performance. Financial terms of the option year were not disclosed in the initial report.
