Pittsburgh Pirates: Five Potential Landing Spots for Starling Marte

Going into the off-season it was well noted that outfielder Starling Marte could be on the trade block and even before the team moved on from the previous regime it made sense. Marte, who just finished his last guaranteed year of control, has two option years remaining. Furthermore, he is 31 years old and coming off a career year. While it would be great for the Pittsburgh Pirates to keep Marte, they also have to be realistic.

With him having such a strong year and having two years of control, Ben Cherington and company could likely fetch a big-time package and return for the star outfielder.
