New York Mets are making ‘minimal progress’ on Starling Marte trade (Report)

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the New York Mets are making “minimal progress” on a Starling Marte trade. Rosenthal reports that the Mets are content with their current outfielders and aren’t motivated to get a deal done.

Carlos Beltran believes that with increased playing time, Jake Marisnick will shine.

Marisnick played in 120 games last season, but only had 318 plate appearances. It seems the Mets plan is to platoon Marisnick and Brandon Nimmo in center field.

What does that mean for Nimmo? Is he going to be a platoon player?
