Starling Marte Rumors: Phillies Eye A's Free Agent; 'Many' MLB Teams Interested in CF

Starling Marte, arguably the best free-agent outfielder available, appears to have his choice of potential landing spots.

Per MLB Network's Jon Heyman, the Philadelphia Phillies are among the "many" teams interested in signing the two-time Gold Glove winner.

The top of the free-agent outfield class is very good. Mark Canha, Chris Taylor, Avisail Garcia, Nick Castellanos, Kyle Schwarber and Michael Conforto should attract a lot of attention.

The 33-year-old Marte, though, has the best combination of offensive and defensive ability. He's a .289/.346/.451 career hitter and had a career-high 132 OPS+ in 2021, per Baseball-Reference.
