Part 5/7:
An essential component of this discussion revolves around Starling Marte’s future with the Mets. Reports suggest that the Mets are keen to offload Marte’s contract, possibly to create space for new acquisitions like Yandy Díaz. Given Marte's limited contributions due to injuries over the past seasons, the organization seems determined to explore trade options to maximize their roster's potential.
Should the Mets successfully trade Marte, acquiring Díaz, in addition to re-signing Alonzo, could significantly enhance team depth and overall performance in the upcoming season. CP makes it clear that, if the opportunity arises, the Mets should pursue this dual acquisition due to Díaz’s favorable contract arrangements and production capability.
