Three-time All-Star Ketel Marte\u2019s name has been floated in trade rumors the entire offseason. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST<\/p>\n
\u201cBut this isn\u2019t going to continue to linger,\u201d Hazen added. \u201cWe need to focus our offseason. Again, my gut this whole time was that [a trade of Marte] wasn\u2019t going to happen, and I think it seems likely that that\u2019s the case and we want to focus on other things we need to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marte, 32, is coming off a strong 2025 when he slashed .283\/.376\/.517 with 28 home runs and 72 RBIs across 126 games, en route to his second straight Silver Slugger Award.<\/p>\n
The three-time All-Star has cemented himself as one of the league\u2019s best at the keystone and comes with an affordable contract.<\/p>\n
Marte has five years and $91 million \u2014 along with an $11.5 million player option for the 2031 season \u2014 remaining on the extension that he inked with Arizona back in April.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Red Sox, who have expressed interest in re-signing Alex Bregman and explored signing Blue Jays star Bo Bichette<\/a>, were linked to Marte<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n The switch-hitter also reportedly has five teams listed in his partial no-trade clause, including the Yankees<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, if the Diamondbacks do not deal Marte by the 10th day of the 2026 season, he will obtain 10-and-5 rights (10 years in the majors, five with the same team), thus granting him a full no-trade clause.<\/p>\n While deciding on Marte\u2019s future in the desert, Arizona also has been linked to Bregman<\/a>, who re-entered free agency after one season in Boston.<\/p>\n
