Part 2/8:
Recent reports have surfaced indicating that the Mets are open to trading veteran outfielder Starling Marte. This comes after the official signing of star player Juan Soto, which has heightened speculation regarding Marte's future with the team. Marte, who has faced injuries throughout his career and is now on the decline at age 36, has fallen short of his 2022 playoff form. He is owed just over $20 million for the upcoming season and will hit free agency afterward.
