Mets get Eduardo Escobar and Mark Canha AND Starling Marte
Over the course of a few hours Friday night, the Mets nabbed free agents Eduardo Escobar, Mark Canha and Starling Marte for a combined $124.5 million commitment, per multiple reports. The only NL East offense that was as impotent as the Marlins’ for long stretches of the 2021 season projects to be far superior next season.
Escobar has agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with a club option for 2024. Canha received an identical contract structure except with a $26.5 million guarantee. Marte, who had a wide variety of suitors, successfully sparked a bidding war among them, culminating in his four-year, $78 million contract.
