The Royals cut ties with veteran outfielder Starling Marte, who’s now free to sign elsewhere — but Kansas City still owes him the rest of his $1M salary. Any new team would only pay him prorated minimum, then deduct that from KC’s tab. Marte also cashed in on $1M in performance bonuses this season, which don’t transfer. At 37, his stats have dipped — .242 BA, .314 SLG in 59 games — and his speed and defense are down. He was mostly used vs. lefties, where he fared slightly better, but overall, he’s not living up to expectations. One year after a strong Mets stint, he remains an affordable platoon option for teams needing a spark.
