With not very many CF’s available in Free Agency, Marte is the best on the market. Marte split the 2021 campaign between the Marlins and A’s, posting a .310/.383/.458 line with 12 home runs and an MLB-best 47 stolen bases in just 120 games. He was a 2016 All-Star and two-time Gold Glove award winner, he’s coming off perhaps the best season of his ten-year big league career.

Though Marte will be out with a rib fracture for the first month of the season.

This is breaking news.

More to come.
