Rest-of-Season Projections

Headed to Korea
Alcantara signed a one-year, $650,000 contract with the KT Wiz of the Korean Baseball Organization on Monday, Yoo Jee-ho of the Yonhap News Agency reports.
ANALYSIS
Alcantara, who submitted a 7.19 ERA across 46.1 innings in the big leagues with the Athletics between 2016 and 2017, spent all of last season at Oakland's Triple-A affiliate in Nashville. Considering he posted a 5.29 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 53:14 K:BB over 83.1 innings in the Pacific Coast League, Alcantara likely would have had to settle for a minor-league deal had he remained stateside. Instead, he'll opt for a more significant payday overseas, with the hope of pitching well enough in Korea to attract renewed interest from MLB teams ahead of the 2020 season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2018
2017
2015
2014
The Athletics used Alcantara as a starter from 2012 to 2016 before converting him into a swingman last season. He made 26 appearances between Triple-A and Oakland last year, 19 of which came in relief. The move to the bullpen has not helped him gain anything in strikeouts as he still has a below-average rate, and he has been awful over 46 major-league innings as he has allowed 14 homers and owns a 7.19 ERA for his career. He should be left in the bullpen to try to figure out where his best fit is moving forward, because it will not be in the starting rotation with his inability to miss bats. The problem is, he is already out of options so he will either have to make the bullpen out of camp or be exposed to waivers for another team to figure him out. Either way, he can safely be kept off your roster until something in his repertoire changes.
