Royals Agree With Starling Marte
The Kansas City Royals agreed to an undisclosed deal with free-agent outfielder Starling Marte on Saturday, a source told Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. The deal is pending a physical. Marte is heading into his 15th season in the big leagues and shouldn’t be expected to see regular playing time in Kansas City. At best, he’ll serve as an outfield/designated-hitter option off the bench against left-handed pitchers. The 37-year-old two-time All-Star hit a solid .270/.335/.410 with a .745 OPS in 98 games with the New York Mets last year, but it came with only nine home runs, 34 RBI, 37 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 329 plate appearances. Volume definitely isn’t going to be there for Marte, even if he stays healthy. Marte hasn’t played in over 100 games since 2022, when he was an All-Star for the second time in his career. Speed has always been Marte’s biggest tool for fantasy managers, but he hasn’t stolen over 30 bags since 2021.
