Eric Hosmer to Sandy Alcantara

On Thursday, October 1, 2026, everyone playing the MLB Today's Linkster got the same two players: get from Eric Hosmer to Sandy Alcantara in as few links as possible. Par was 2, counted through teams, but any shared college or team counted as a move.

The two players

  • Sandy Alcantara (SP, 2017–2025) Teams: Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals.

Seasons 2016–2025. Teams only count from seasons in that range.
