The Arizona Diamondbacks signed New York Met non-tender Wilmer Flores this week, leading many to assume that Ketel Marte‘s transition to center field is all but in the books.

Flores adds to manager Torey Lovullo’s modern stable of players capable of moving around the diamond on a game-to-game basis – but the work of roster building isn’t done yet.
