Texas Rangers trade rumors: Starling Marte, Pittsburgh Pirate centerfielder and one of MLB’s better outfielders, could be moved this season by a Pirates team that appears to be overhauling its organization, and Matt Kelly lists the Rangers as a team that could have interest in Marte.
Marte, who just turned 31, is coming off a season where he slashed .295/.342/.503 and put up a 2.9 bWAR and a 3.0 fWAR. Marte has been a pretty consistent 3-4 WAR guy throughout his career, when he’s been healthy, and has won Gold Gloves in the past, although both UZR and DRS had him as well below average in center field last year.
