The Dodgers have been connected to plenty of stars this offseason, but with time running out, the team should turn to Starling Marte to fix the outfield.
To credit the Dodgers’ front office, many of the trade rumors surrounding the Dodgers this offseason have involved superstars like Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor, and Kris Bryant. While rumors have quieted down involving Lindor and Bryant, a deal for Betts certainly seems reasonable at this point in the offseason.
But for all of the rumors surrounding Betts, why aren’t the Dodgers interested in Starling Marte?
The 31-year-old Pittsburgh Pirates centerfielder profiles similarly to Betts, 27, and should come at a fraction of the monetary and prospect cost even though he has a $12.
