The New York Mets did some Black Friday shopping, with outfielders Starling Marte and Mark Canha and infielder Eduardo Escobar all agreeing to terms with the team.
Marte, a 33 year old who split the 2021 season between the Miami Marlins and the Oakland A’s, posting a .310/.383/.458 slash line while playing adequate defense in center field, landed a four year, $78 million deal. He is someone that the Texas Rangers reportedly had a level of interest in.
Canha, who turns 33 in February, had been with the Oakland A’s since being acquired by Oakland as a Rule 5 pick from the Miami Marlins (via the Colorado Rockies) in December, 2014.
