Part 3/6:
The Mets have not been passive amidst all these trades; they are actively exploring ways to improve their roster as well. Juan Soto's addition to the Mets has grabbed headlines following a record-setting 15-year contract worth $765 million. However, the team's management seems to have their sights set on further roster adjustments, particularly concerning veteran outfielder Starling Marte.
Brooklyn's Mets are reportedly open to trading Marte in exchange for relief pitching, which has become a pressing need for the team after the offseason. Sources indicate that negotiations are underway, and while the Mets may need to cover some of Marte’s salary, they are willing to do so to facilitate any potential deals.
