According to Robert Murray (formerly of The Athletic), the New York Mets have reopened trade talks with the Pittsburgh Pirates regarding outfielder Starling Marte. This was a fairly hot topic of discussion earlier this offseason before talks seemed to simmer.
#Mets and #Pirates recently reopened Starling Marte trade talks, sources said. A deal is not believed to be close at this time. #DBacks were among teams interested earlier this offseason.
