Starling Marte Reportedly Traded from Marlins to Athletics for Jesus Luzardo
Starling Marte is on the move again.
A year after being traded to Miami, the Marlins shipped the 32-year-old to the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday, per Craig Mish of SportsGrid.
MLB Network's Jon Heyman added that the A's will send Jesus Luzardo to Miami.
Marte didn't exactly light Miami on fire after being acquired by the team, hitting .245 with four homers, 13 RBI and 13 runs in 12 games. He also appeared in just one postseason game after fracturing his hand on a hit-by-pitch.
Injuries have affected him this season as well, as he missed about five weeks between April and May with a fractured left rib. When healthy, he's hit .306/.407/.453 with seven homers and 22 stolen bases.
