The Mets are showing willingness to pay down part of Starling Marte’s contract to facilitate a trade, recognizing his limited role and declining performance.
Despite his two-time All-Star status, Marte's defensively limited role and age make him expendable, with the Mets' outfield depth chart favoring younger options.
Marte’s significant contract and underwhelming performance means the Mets may need to absorb salary to find a trade partner, complicating his potential exit.
With Marte regarded as fifth in the outfield depth chart, the Mets consider his role rotational, indicating a shift in their overall strategy under Steve Cohen.
