JUPITER, Fla. — Sandy Alcantara kept the message brief Wednesday. The Miami Marlins’ ace, after all, would rather lead by example than lead by talking.
“I don’t want to use my voice too much,” Alcantara said a day later. “I don’t like talking. If they want to get better, they’re going to watch how we work.”
But as Alcantara talked for about a minute and a half on the back fields of the Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium complex, the group of pitchers around him remained quiet and attentive.
