Report: Diamondbacks Acquire Pirates Outfielder Starling Marte

The Diamondbacks' productive winter keeps rolling along. According to multiple reports, Arizona acquired Pirates All-Star outfielder Starling Marte for a pair of prospects.

The Athletic's Robert Murray first said a deal was close between the clubs, and according to Murray and Jon Heyman, the Diamondbacks are sending 19-year-old shortstop Liover Peguero, last year's first-round pick Brennan Malone and $250,000 in international pool money for this year to Pittsburgh.

MLB.com's Steve Gilbert reports Arizona will receive $1.5 million along with Marte.

The 31-year-old outfielder has spent his entire eight-year career with the Pirates.
