The New York Mets pursued center fielder Starling Marte for a big portion of the offseason. That is no secret, as there were on-and-off conversations between the Pittsburgh Pirates’ representatives and Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen.
However, the Mets were unsuccessful in their efforts and the star outfielder was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks a few days ago for a pair of 19-year old prospects. Good prospects, while we are at it.
According to SNY’s Andy Martino, we now know a little bit more about the Mets – Pirates negotations.
