The main buzz around the New York Mets this offseason has been the team’s interest in obtaining outfielder Starling Marte via trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Nothing has come of it yet. Marte is one of the best players around currently sitting on the trade block wondering where he’ll open the 2020 season.
As with many trades, the debate for this one is what it will take to land Marte. In many cases, big leaguers such as J.D. Davis and Brandon Nimmo have been mentioned.
If Davis was the headliner heading to Pittsburgh, we can rationalize it pretty easily.
