If the Philadelphia Phillies hope to land the top center fielder available on the free agent market, they may have to pounce in the coming days.
Jon Heyman of Audacy Sports reports that the market for Starling Marte is “very hot,” adding that he could land a multi-year deal this month, before the current collective bargaining agreement expires on Dec 1.
Heyman says that the Phillies are joined by the Houston Astros, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, New York Yankees, Houston Astros, Miami Marlins and “many others” in pursuit of the 33-year-old outfielder.
