Should Pirates Pursue Ketel Marte Trade?

The Pittsburgh Pirates have been linked to a possible trade for Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte, who is a three-time All-Star. The 32-year-old is reasonably priced for someone who has played in the last two Midsummer Classics as he has five years and $91 million remaining on his six-year, $105-million contract.

The Pirates would likely have to give up some of their young pitchers beyond Paul Skenes and Bubba Chandler to get a deal done. Should the Pirates pull the trigger and trade for a player who could significantly bolster an offense that finished last in runs scored in MLB this year?
