We all know the New York Yankees love Starling Marte.
It’s not exactly a secret. Last season, when he was with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the New York Post reported the Yankees as interested in trading for him. Marte was instead dealt to the Miami Marlins, where he remains their starting center fielder.
Cut back to the Yankees, and they have serious outfield issues. Who starts in the field alongside Aaron Judge is anybody’s guess on a day-to-day basis. Giancarlo Stanton is the team’s second most reliable outfielder, and he hasn’t even played a single inning in the field all season.
