Diamondbacks acquire OF Starling Marte from Pirates
By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer
Starling Marte is heading to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Pittsburgh Pirates sent the two-time Gold Glove outfielder and 2016 All-Star to the Diamondbacks for prospects Liover Peguero and Brennan Malone. The Diamondbacks received cash considerations as part of the deal Monday while Pittsburgh obtained $250,000 in international signing money. The 31-year-old Marte is coming off a stellar 2019 in which he hit .295 and set career-highs with 23 home runs and 81 RBIs. He has two years left on a contract extension he signed on the eve of the 2014 season.
