McAdam: Source — Red Sox inquired about Miami's Starling Marte

On paper, Marte would seem an odd fit for the Red Sox, who have mostly used Kike Hernandez in center for much of the season before promoting Jarren Duran last week to get some playing time at the position while Hernandez shifts to second base,.

But adding Marte would give the Red Sox another plus defender at the spot, and one who is more experienced, too.
