Mets: Is Starling Marte the upgrade in center field this team needs?

After hearing and reading about how Starling Marte wants to play for the New York Mets, I have put much thought into whether he would be a good fit on the 2020 roster. Looking at his 2019 production I do like the slash line of .295/.342/.503/.845 was extremely solid and he has seemed to improve his hitting through the years.

A former Gold-Glover playing LF, he was moved to CF in 2018. After posting solid defensive numbers in 2018, he seemed to regress defensively in 2019 and many people who have watched Marte play over the past 8 years say he is a much better left fielder than center fielder.
