Let me be the first to say “YEAAAAAA”. And that’s before having any knowledge about the return to the Pirates.

The two prospects going back to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Starling Marte trade are young and have high ceilings, sources tell ESPN, but that can be said about a lot of Arizona's farm system, which may be the deepest and best in baseball behind San Diego and Tampa Bay's.

No problem with Malone, have major problem getting the SS prospect. Didn't really fill a need.
