The New York Mets will have to look elsewhere to improve their outfield as the Pittsburgh Pirates trade outfielder Starling Marte to the Diamondbacks in exchange for top prospects Brennan Malone and Liover Peguero.
The Mets and Pirates have been discussing a trade that circled around Marte for Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo. When reports came out Mets fans were not happy about the news, considering Nimmo has become a fan favorite in Flushing.
Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen came out Friday to comment on the rumors of a possible Marte deal.
