Marlins Trade Starling Marte

     The Miami Marlins have traded outfielder Starling Marte to the Oakland A's for pitcher Jesus Luzardo. Marte will be a free agent at the end of the 2021 campaign.  

     Marte joined the Marlins on August 31, 2020 when he was dealt by the Arizona Diamondbacks. He later helped the Marlins reach the postseason for the first time since 2003. He had four home runs with 13 runs batted in during 28 contests with the Fish in 2020. 

     He continued to put up impressive numbers in the 2021 season. Marte has seven homers, 25 runs batted in, 22 stolen bases, .305 batting average and .859 OBS in 63 games.
