Announcing a trade with the Chicago Cubs on Monday, New York bolstered its outfield depth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have acquired OF Alexander Canario from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for cash considerations,&#8221; the team announced . &#8220;In a corresponding move, INF Nick Madrigal has been placed on the 60-Day IL.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Canario is a 24-year-old outfielder from the Dominican Republic who appeared in just 21 games for Chicago between 2023 and 2024. That said, the right-handed hitter owns a career .857 OPS in 45 plate appearances, which is an impressive number despite the very small sample size.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_98683051\">\n<p>Just two days after\u00a0Canario was acquired, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza made an announcement on the injured Starling Marte. Per Mendoza, the two-time All-Star outfielder still does not have a target date for his spring debut.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No word on when Starling Marte (right knee still) will get into Grapefruit League games,&#8221; Tim Healey of Newsday Sports reported on X. &#8220;Carlos Mendoza said he has &#8216;some good days, some not so good&#8217; in his running progression. The Mets remain confident he physically can be a major-leaguer still.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">No word on when Starling Marte (right knee still) will get into Grapefruit League games.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos Mendoza said he has &quot;some good days, some not so good&quot; in his running progression.<\/p>\n<p>The Mets remain confident he physically can be a major-leaguer still.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tim Healey (@timbhealey) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/timbhealey\/status\/1894801036583239807?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 26, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_98683053\">\n<div>\n<p>The uncertainty surrounding\u00a0Marte could create an additional opportunity for\u00a0Canario.
