Yesterday, following MLB Trade Rumors’ release of their annual arbitration salary projections, the publication shifted its attention to the potential trade market for current Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte. The 31-year-old Marte is coming off a 3.0 fWAR season in which he slashed .295/.342/.503 with 23 home runs, 82 RBIs, and 25 stolen bases, and still has two years left of club control at a very fair price for his level of production ($11.5 million in 2020, $12.5 million in ’21).
Of the teams listed in MLBTR’s article, you’ll find the usual suspects: the Mets, Phillies, Reds, Rangers, etc.
