Last offseason, the Mets made a series of big splashes to help turn their roster into a surefire playoff contender. While Max Scherzer was their biggest acquisition, following closely behind was Starling Marte. Marte’s name had been discussed in relation to the Mets for years, but they finally signed him to play right field and help bolster the top of their lineup. And it worked, with his talent and skills helping to lead the Mets to over 100 wins. His late season injury caused their lineup to falter when they needed him the most, and despite his return in time of the Wild Card series against the Padres, they ended up being eliminated in the first round.
