Marlins reportedly make move for Starling Marte in deadline deal with Diamondbacks
The Miami Marlins are acquiring outfielder Starling Marte from the Arizona Diamondbacks for pitchers Caleb Smith and Humberto Mejia, per multiple reports.
What It Means:
The Marlins will also reportedly send a player to be named later to the Diamondbacks. Marte's contract includes a $12.5 million club option in 2021, so the Marlins may view this as more than a short-term rental. The veteran outfielder will turn 32 in October.
Marte slashed .311/.384/.443 with 2 homers, 8 doubles, 14 RBI, 5 steals, and 23 scores over 138 plate appearances (33 games) during his brief stint with the Diamondbacks. He has averaged 10.9 FanDuel points per game this season.
